SWEET CORN, ZUCCHINI, AND TOMATOES WITH BULGUR



Sweet Corn, Zucchini, and Tomatoes with Bulgur image

Grain salads are ready in a flash and substantial without weighing you down-a perfect choice for lunch. This colorful tumble of tomatoes, corn, and squash invites improvisation: Swap red quinoa or brown basmati rice (cooked and cooled) for the bulgur, and fold in anything delicate and leafy in place of the arugula and radish sprouts.

Time 35m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup medium-grind bulgur
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 purple scallions, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
2 medium green or yellow zucchini (12 ounces), halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (3 cups)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears)
1 to 2 beefsteak tomatoes (12 ounces), cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
2 cups packed baby arugula
1/2 cup packed radish sprouts (optional)
Parmigiano-Reggiano, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine bulgur, 1 1/2 cups water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a drizzle of oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and zucchini; season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add butter and corn and cook, stirring, until corn is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and cook until they just begin to release juices, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste. Add zucchini mixture to bulgur and toss. Fold in arugula and sprouts. Shave cheese over salad and serve.

PASTA WITH CORN, ZUCCHINI AND TOMATOES



Pasta With Corn, Zucchini And Tomatoes image

The two things I love most about this dish of summer vegetables and pasta are the crunch of the corn against the tenderness of the pasta and the fact that I cannot seem to settle on a combination of flavorings that I think is best. Chile powder, a little bit of cayenne, perhaps some cilantro are all excellent choices. But with pasta this seems too heretical even for a culinary atheist like me, so I usually go in a tamer direction: a suspicion of garlic with some fresh tarragon or basil. It is flexible not only in its flavorings but in its ingredients. You can use onions, garlic or shallots, singly or in combination; add string beans (or even fresh limas) to the mix; substitute eggplant for the zucchini. Think of it as a delicious mélange of whatever is on hand.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, or 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter
1 cup corn kernels (from 2 or 3 ears)
1 cup diced zucchini or summer squash (from 2 or 3 small vegetables)
1 medium onion or 3 or 4 shallots, diced
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic, optional
1 or 2 sprigs tarragon
4 plum or 2 large tomatoes, diced
1 pound cut pasta, like penne

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add corn. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corn begins to brown. Add zucchini and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini begins to brown.
  • Add onion or shallots and garlic if you are using it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add tarragon and cook for 30 seconds, then tomatoes. Put pasta in boiling water and cook until tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • While pasta cooks continue to cook sauce, reducing heat when tomatoes begin to break down. If sauce dries out (with plum tomatoes, this is likely), add some pasta cooking water, about 1/2 cup at a time. When pasta is done, drain it, toss with sauce and remaining oil or butter, and serve immediately.
