Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables

Wash and dice the zucchini and tomatoes. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Sauté the Onions and Garlic

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add Zucchini and Tomatoes

Stir in the diced zucchini and tomatoes into the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is tender.

Incorporate Grilled Corn

Add the grilled sweet corn to the skillet. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Season and Garnish

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir in chopped cilantro just before serving.
