Calabacitas con Elote (Zucchini with Corn)
zucchini and corn
This has to be one of the oldest dishes in Mexican homes. Almost everyone had a little garden in their backyard and squash was one of the staples harvested. We had this dish frequently in the summer growing up.

Ingredients

Instructions

Easy Tip for Getting Corn Off the Cob:
To remove corn kernels from the cob using a bundt pan, stand the shucked corn cob upright, with the tip of cob placed in the center hole of the bundt pan. Holding the cob steady, use a sharp knife and make long downward strokes on the cob, separating the kernels from the cob.

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 and corn into the onion and garlic and cover until zucchini is tender; about 10 minutes. Uncover and stir the suero/buttermilk into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper; stir. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer. Sprinkle with cheese (optional) to serve.
