Vegetarian Calabacitas Recipe


Vegetarian Calabacitas Recipe
Called the step-mom and asked her how she made calabacita. They are pale round fat zucchini. This is an approximation of the recipe. Her original was written in spanish and I have forgotten more than I ever knew.

Ingredients
  • 4 calabacitas or you can substitute
  • zucchini or yellow squash, sliced in 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 3 Tbs. oil (her recipe says mantequilla, which I think is butter) I'm using olive oil because it is better for hubby.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 chopped green chilies, fresh, seeded and deveined
  • 24 oz. bag of frozen corn
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • (I used half monterey jack and half cheddar and it was more likely a cup and a half.)

Directions
  1. Saute squash and onion in oil until barely tender.
  2. Add garlic, chilies, saute a few minutes more to soften the garlic a little bit.
  3. Add corn and cheese; mix well.
  4. Put in buttered (or oiled) 1-quart casserole and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
