Ingredients

2 zucchini, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 poblano chile, grilled, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 jalapeno pepper, grilled, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Directions

Heat grill to high. Brush cut side of zucchini with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, cut-side down, until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and continue cooking until just cooked through. Remove from heat and cut into small dice.

Heat remaining oil in a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the corn kernels and cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, chile peppers, diced zucchini, and heavy cream and cook until the cream is reduced by half and begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from the heat and add the cheese and cilantro.

Nice change of pace
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This makes a very good side dish. Received rave reviews. I would say this is a little labor intensive but I was able to make... it early in the day and then just reheat and add the cheese and cilantro right before serving. I used frozen corn and did not use all of the peppers for fear of being too spicy. The result was very good with a mild kick of spiciness. I took the tip from an earlier reviewer and substituted goat cheese for the fresco cheese. It was a surprisingly good combination with the veggies. Instead of the heavy cream, I used chicken broth and about a half cup of milk to keep it a little healthier. Read more

PERFECT!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is the PERFECT side dish! All the flavors blend amazingly together for a delicious summer side that will be gone within... minutes of putting it on the table! I've made it twice now - once with and once without the heavy cream, and must say that it is better omitting the cream altogether (not to mention healthier!) Next time I will also try it with goat cheese, as queso blanco is not regularly stocked at my normal grocery store. I highly recommend this dish - everyone who has tried it has begged me for the recipe! Another A+ for Flay!Read more

Excellent

Everyone raved about this dish and I even left out the cream, so we saved on calories, but I bet it is even better with the... cream.Read more
