Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1.5 cups fresh corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and pat dry the zucchini, then slice them into half-moons about 1/4-inch thick.
Shuck the corn and carefully cut off the kernels from the cob to yield approximately 1.5 cups.
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being cautious not to burn it.
Add the zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and lightly brown.
Stir in the fresh corn kernels and continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the corn is tender.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring gently, until the tomatoes soften and start to release their juices.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle with lemon juice.
Chop the fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the dish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own with crusty bread.
