Calabacitas Southwestern Squash Saute

There are as many recipes for calabacitas as there are cooks. here's how dh and i like it. we especially enjoy this in august when zucchini and corn are fresh from the garden. it is a versatile dish - the measurements are estimated. use whatever fresh vegetables you have on hand...red peppers, grated carrots, jalapenos, diced tomato... for example, if i'm making it for my yankee parents i omit the poblano and cilantro, and add parsley, resulting in a mild but tasty saute of summer vegetables. have fun experimenting and enjoy!!

Steps

In a large skillet , saute onion in butter and oil over medium heat about 4 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute about 2 minutes more.
Stir in the diced squash and zucchini.
Saute until just softened , about 5 minutes.
Add the corn and poblano and saute 3-5 more minutes.
Stir in the cilantro and heat until just heated through.
Season with salt and pepper.
Serve.
