Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 fresh jalapeño chile
3 ears corn
3 large zucchini (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
1 tablespoon curry powder
3/4 cup chicken broth
5 scallions
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Wearing rubber gloves, finely chop jalapeño with seeds. With a sharp knife cut enough corn from cobs to measure 1 1/2 cups. Remove peel in 1/4-inch-thick strips from 2 zucchini and cut peel into 1/4-inch dice. Coarsely chop cores and remaining zucchini.
  • In a large nonstick skillet cook jalapeño, chopped zucchini (not dice), curry powder, and broth over moderate heat until zucchini is tender, about 5 minutes. In a blender or food processor puree mixture until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids).
  • Transfer mixture to skillet and add corn and zucchini dice. Cook salsa over moderate heat, stirring, until corn is just tender, about 5 minutes. Thinly slice scallions and stir into salsa with lime juice, tossing to combine. Season salsa with salt and pepper and serve warm.
