Ingredients
- 2 zucchinis
- ¼ cup of onion, finely chopped.
- ½ tablespoon of cooking oil
- 2 cups of water
- 4 tablespoons of tomato paste
- ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 cup of canned corn
- Salt & pepper
Directions
- We begin by preheating the pan in medium low heat and adding the cooking oil to the pan.
- Fry the onions for a couple of minutes, until translucent.
- Chop the zucchini in very small cubes and add them to the pan, with the tomato paste and sauté them for a couple of minutes.
- Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Add the water and lower the temperature, let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Finally add the corn and leave it for 5 more minutes.
That’s it!
Chef’s Note: I do suggest that you chop the zucchini into small cubes as opposed to slices. If you have, perhaps, a picky husband (like I do) or children that struggle to eat their vegetables, this will help with the look, texture, and taste of the dish.
- You can also substitute the zucchini for squash.
Pro Tip: You can add some sour cream and feta cheese, and enjoy it cold like I prefer it. Or you can eat it hot with some added protein or as a side dish. It’s a wonderful compliment to a roasted turkey for instance.
