Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 - 3 ears of corn (shucked (or 1 1/2 cups frozen corn))
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove (minced)
1/2 cup finely diced sweet onion
4 cups small-diced zucchini ((2 medium zucchini))
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 lime (juice)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat a large grill pan or use a grill. Brush the corn with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over moderately high heat, turning, until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. Let cool.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic to the skillet, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, dried oregano, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally until zucchini is tender and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the juice of one lime. Let sit for a minute.
  • Working in a large bowl with an inverted ramekin, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cobs in sections. Remove ramekin and transfer everything from the pan into the bowl. Toss to combine, add basil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature garnished with a few basil leaves.

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Tablespoons olive oil
16 ounces frozen corn (1 bag)
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise ((I used light))
4 ounces Cotija Cheese (crumbled, (could also use feta cheese))
2 Tablespoons lime juice ((fresh is best))
1 Tablespoon jalapeno pepper (finely chopped)
⅓ cup fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
2 Tablespoons red onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat. Add frozen corn and let cook until corn starts to char, stirring occasionally (it took about 7-8 minutes before my corn was lightly charred).
  • While the corn is cooking, mix together mayonnaise, cheese, lime juice, jalapeno, cilantro, red onion, garlic, chili powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. When corn is done, gently fold it in with other ingredients.
  • Serve immediately and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
