Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Challenge Butter

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

  • 2 small zucchini, diced (3 to 3½ cups)

  • 4 cups frozen whole kernel corn or leftover Butter Bath Corn cut from the cob

  • ¼ cup water (or use some leftover water from the corn butter bath)

  • ½ cup minced chives

  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh mint or basil

  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 3 Tablespoons cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar

Additional Ingredients if Desired

  • 1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half

  • 2 green onions, diced

  1. Melt butter over in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. When butter begins to foam, add zucchini and garlic; sauté until tender – about 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in corn and water; continue to cook, stirring frequently until corn is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated - additional 2 to 3 minutes.

  4. Stir in salt, chives, mint or basil, and vinegar and remove from heat. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve warm or at room temperature.
