SERVES:
6-8 as a side

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 small onion, peeled and diced

  • 1 large clove garlic, peeled and minced

  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)

  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, deseeded and minced

  • 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed from cobs (approx. 3 cups corn)

  • 2 small-medium zucchini diced (remove core first…especially if it is soft and seed filled)

  • Olive oil for sauteing

  • Salt to taste

  • Approx. 1/3 cup chopped cilantro

  • 1 cup halved grape or cherry tomatoes

  • Limejuice to taste

PROCEDURE:

Use a large, heavy bottomed pan with a splash of olive oil to saute a small diced onion and minced clove of garlic until they soften up a bit.

Then sprinkle in a little ground cumin, if you're using it, and add 1 small...or 1/2 large, deseeded and minced jalapeno pepper and then add the corn and the diced zucchini.

Keep those going along like that for 4-5 minutes then season with salt to taste and add a handful of chopped cilantro and a handful of sliced grape tomatoes, squeeze some limejuice into the mix, toss everything together, turn the heat off and it is good to go!

HINTS:

Serve it up family style or right along side any simply cooked meat or fish.
