1 medium onion, shopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch squares
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch dice or thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh, vacuum-packed niblets or thawed frozen)
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice or 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

In a large skillet, cook the onion in the olive oil over moderate heat until it is softened and just beginning to color around the edges, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and bell pepper.
Cook, stirring until the pepper begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the cumin and hot pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Add the zucchini and season with the salt.
Cook stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender but still firm, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the corn and cook, stirring frequently, until hot, about 2 minutes.
Sprinkle on the lime juice and serve hot or at room temperature.
