Summer Squash and Corn Sauté

Here’s a summer harvest dish that I absolutely love. Fresh corn kernels are a must if you want to get the full impact of the fresh flavors. This is great with veggie burgers, soy hot dogs, and tortilla specialties.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons light olive oil
1 large green or red bell pepper, cut into short strips
2 medium yellow summer squash, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4-inch-thick
1 to 1 1/2 cups uncooked corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears)
2 medium firm tomatoes, diced
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a wide skillet. Add the bell pepper and sauté over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the squash and corn and continue to sauté, stirring frequently, until all the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking.

    Step 2

    Add the tomatoes and continue to sauté briefly, just until they have lost their raw quality. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
