Zucchini and Corn

My Medill buddy Sara cooked this tasty, hearty veggie dish that her mom made back in the day.
I’m terrible with transcribing Spanish, but I do know it translates into Zucchini and Corn.

I made the white rice with our handy rice cooker.

To recap, Sara used the following ingredients:

  • 2 cans of tomato sauce
  • one cube of chicken bullion, microwaved with water
  • 2 zucchinis, chopped up
  • chopped up onion (about 1/2)
  • 1 can of corn (or you can boil your own)
  • A handful of oregano
  • A little bit of whole milk
  • 2 slices of American cheese

The tomato sauce tied the fresh veggie flavors together. Sara’s right, the whole milk and the cheese added a lovely creamy texture to the mixture. I loved how it all tasted over white rice.

Good times!
