Calabacitas
www.newmexico.org

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 pounds mixed summer squash (such as small zucchini, yellow crooked-neck or gold bar squash, and light green skinned calabacita), sliced thin or in bite-size cubes

1 medium onion, chopped

2 small tomatoes, preferably Roma or Italian plum, optional

2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen

¼ to ¾ cup chopped, roasted mild New Mexican green chile, fresh or thawed frozen

½ teaspoon salt

Up to ¼ cup half-and-half, optional

4 ounces (1 cup) grated Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese, optional

DIRECTIONS

Warm the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the squash, onion, and optional tomatoes. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, until the squash is well softened.

Stir in the corn, chiles, and salt, and cook covered for another 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender.

Pour in the half-and-half if you wish and simmer briefly, until the liquid is reduced by about one-half.

Serve hot. If using the cheese, scatter it over the calabacitas just before serving.
