Sweet Summer Side

The summer job is almost over, so it's time to get in the saddle & get the recipes going. Here is a family favorite that my mom came up with a few years ago after having soft shell crabs served over it at a local restaurant (now closed). She came home raving about it & then did her very best to imitate it. I never tasted the original, but man is this version delicious!!

1/2 a stick of butter
Four Ears of Corn
3 Zucchini
1/2 Cup of Light Cream
3-4 Cloves of Garlic
Freshly grated Parmesan

Slice zucchini in thin rounds. Melt butter in large saute pan and add zucchini along with some salt & pepper. Stir occasionally until zucchini softens. In the meantime, cut corn off the cob. Throw into pan & heat through. Mince and add the garlic & stir for a few minutes (until garlic aroma begins). Add cream & let warm until ingredients become "stewy". Grate cheese over & serve. Sometimes I also add a shake or two of nutmeg; either way, this is a great side for seafood or beef. Enjoy it all summer long :)!
