Stir-Fried Zucchini with Corn, Onion, & Sweet Bell Pepper - Delicious & Easy Side

In searching for another zucchini with corn recipe, I found this easy winner at food.com (http://www.food.com/recipe/stir-fried-zucchini-with-corn-and-sweet-bell-pepper-21470). This is one time that I made no changes. However, it's the type of recipe one could easily try with a variety of different spices.

It serves 4 to 6.

Ingredients

- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1/2 inch squares
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
- 3 medium zucchini, cut into 1/2 inch dice or thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 & 1/2 cups corn kernels (fresh, vacuum-packed niblets or thawed frozen) - I used Libby's canned sweet corn kernels
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice or lemon juice. I used lemon juice, but I think I would have enjoyed it better with lime juice.

Directions

1. In a large skillet, cook the onion in the olive oil over moderate heat until softened
2. Add the garlic and bell pepper, stirring until the pepper begins to softer - 2 to 3 minutes
3. Add the cumin and hot pepper, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute
4. Add the zucchini and season with the salt. Cook stirring occasionally until the zucchini is tender but still firm - 3 to 5 minutes.
5. Add the corn and cook, stirring frequently until hot - about 2 minutes
6. Sprinkle the lemon or lime juice, and serve hot or at room temperature.
