  • Total Time: 20

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 12 oz small green zucchini, chopped into 1/2″ dice (23 small) or other summer squash if you’re lucky enough to get it!
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1/2” dice
  • 2 ears fresh corn, kernels removed
  • 1 c fresh green peas
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh green thyme
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 c heirloom tomatoes, halved
  • finely sliced chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a 12″ skillet over medium high heat. Add the squash and bell pepper. Sauté until the squash is tender and slightly golden (about 3 minutes). Add the corn, peas and thyme and sauté until tender (another 3 minutes). Season to taste with salt & pepper. Stir in the tomatoes. Serve garnished with chives.

Notes

  • The original recipe called for 2 tbsp of lemon juice, which I forgot to add. I recognize that it might have “brightened” the flavour further, but found that the dish was delicious without it.
