Vegan callabacitas

Vegan New Mexican Callabacitas
Summer months can bring about an
abundance of wonderful fresh vegetables.
This dish is an easy, tasty side dish, or can be transformed
into a cold salad picnic dish with a little vinaigrette.

Recipe makes about enough for 4-5 servings.

2 ears fresh sweet corn, cut kernels from cob
1 small eggplant, pealed and cubed
1-2 small yellow summer squash or zucchinis, cubed
1 large tomato diced
1 onion, small diced
1 clove garlic
2 small red peppers chopped fine
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 C green chili chopped

Heat oil over medium heat, add onion, garlic. Toss about 4 minutes. Add eggplant
And brown slightly, add corn, squash, peppers, tomato and chili. Cook for about
10-15 minutes, covered, until done! See my orzo pasta salad for vinaigrette recipe!
Enjoy! Happy cooking! Happy Summer! Salt and pepper to taste.

You can add shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese,  1/4 C of Cream, and 1/8 C Butter
for a delicious non vegan version!
