Calabacitas is traditionally a Mexican dish made from sautéed zucchini or squash, corn, tomatoes and peppers. It’s often served as a side dish, but is substantial enough to be served as a light main dish. I didn’t have any peppers around and needed to use up some Greek herbed feta cheese so decided to put a little twist on this delicious veggie packed dish. This dish is easy, healthy and so good there won’t be any left after dinner!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups frozen sweet corn
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• 2 clove garlic, minced
• 2 zucchini, sliced
• 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 small crookneck squash, sliced
• salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup crumbled herbed feta cheese

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Mix the zucchini, squash and tomato in and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir the corn kernels into the mixture and cook until everything is tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally sprinkle with the feta cheese to serve.
