CALABACITAS (SOUTHWESTERN SQUASH SAUTE)



Calabacitas (Southwestern Squash Saute) image

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!

Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
  • Start the grill to preheat while you prepare the Calabacitas. Begin by shucking the corn, then cut your zucchini and squash in half. Also slice your onion and skewer with toothpicks, so the slices don’t fall apart on the grill. Once you have all your veggies ready to go, place in a bowl or on a cookie sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • If your using charcoal move all the coals to one side of the grill so you have a 2-zone fire, just in case you need a cooler side to move to. When the fire is ready place all the veggies on the grill over the coals and close the lid grilling for 2 minutes. At 2 minutes rotate the corn to a side that wasn’t directly facing the coals and check the rest of the veggies to see how their doing on the first side. Once 2 more minutes have passed rotate the corn again to a side that hasn’t seen the fire yet. Again, check all the other veggies and if they have enough chare on both sides but still aren’t quite done in the center, move them to the cooler side of the grill. Keep rotating the corn to a side that hasn’t seen the fire, every 2 minutes until evenly charred and the kernels are tender. Usually, everything takes about 8 minutes total to cook through. We prefer the squash and zucchini cooked through and the onions soft but by all means if you want them a little crisper cook them to your pr
  • Once your veggies are done, dice the squash, zucchini, and onion up into half inch pieces. Cut the corn off the cob and place in a bowl with the onion, squash and zucchini add the minced garlic and green chili. Season to taste with salt and pepper and mix to combine. We enjoy Calabacitas with fajitas, or a burger usually, but really, they rock alongside any protein off the grill.
