Fantastic way to use leftover corn on the cob. Since I was using leftover, I added the corn and zucchini at the same time. I didn't add the water because the zucchini gives off it's own water and then I didn't need to drain off excess. The finished dish is colorful and very tasty. Thanx for a new zuke recipe!

This is a great way to use zucchini and corn all year long. The dish is call "calabacitas" in New Mexico, and includes green chiles. Yummy!

This was absolutely delicious. I used olive oil instead of butter and it was still very good. And the colours of the zucchini and corn made it a beautiful dish!!

Wowzer! Finally a veg dish that my kids love! So yummy! I served this with barbecued chicken but I think this would easily be a main course for a veg meal.
