This recipe is from Bon Apetit – Tastes of the World.

Mom and I made Fiesta Corn on Wednesday and ate it fresh from the stove. We also had it later in the day, once it was refrigerated and enjoyed it cold as well.  While preparing the dish, I tasted a sample prior to pouring the salsa into the pan and it was really flavorful. So, I may leave the salsa out next time. Either way it’s a keeper.  I also think it would be a nice holiday dish. It’s healthy, colorful and flavorful. It looks very festive once everything is combined.

fiesta corn

2 tablespoons butter

1  10-oz package frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 cup chopped zucchini

2 green onions, chopped

1 jalapeno chile, seeded, chopped (if you want it spicy, leave the seeds in)

½ cup purchased salsa (or make your own)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn, red bell pepper, zucchini, green onions, and jalapeno and saute until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

Mix in salsa and chopped cilantro. Stir until heated through, about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
