Corn and Zucchini with Basil


My mom saw this recipe on an episode of Everyday Food, and made it when I visited earlier this spring. They weren't flavors I would have thought to put together, but the combination is awesome! Especially if you find really fresh, sweet corn.

-2 ears of corn
-2 small (or 1 medium) zucchini, thinly sliced
-1 T. olive oil
-1 clove garlic, minced
-fresh basil leaves
-salt and pepper
-splash of white wine vinegar (I've also used white balsamic vinegar and lemon juice, both are great)

1. Slice kernels of corn off the cobs in a shallow bowl.
2. In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and zucchini, and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the corn kernels and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
3. When the corn has been heated through, remove from heat and toss with the basil, seasoning, and vinegar.

This dish is incredibly fast to put together, and delicious! Again, if you can find sweet corn, it makes a big difference.
