Summer Sauté

A light, easy dish to be enjoyed on its own or added to other ingredients for a more substantial meal

Let’s give those summer vegetables a run for their money with a triple purpose. Here is a quick, simple, and versatile sauté of fresh vegetables. Use as a side for a main with an added protein or incorporate into an entirely different dish with the addition of eggs. You will be the summer hit of the party.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large squash, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced (1 green and 1 red)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ chile serrano seeded and minced (Adjust amount to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh corn
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • Black pepper and salt to taste

 

In a large sauté pan, heat the vegetable oil and add all ingredients. Stir and sauté for 10 minutes until all vegetables are almost cooked through. Serve as a side dish.
