Ingredients 

  • 5 ears corn about 5 cups worth of kernels
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives or green onions, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • 1½ teaspoons lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Remove the corn kernels from each cob and set the corn aside. Working over a bowl, run the back of a knife down each corn cob to scrape away the corn milk, reserving the milk.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add zucchini and cook until barely softened, about 3 minutes. Add corn and cook until deep yellow and softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat, stir in corn milk, basil, chives, parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve.
