  • 5 x Mint leaves, minced
  • 6 x Basil leaves, minced (cinnamon or possibly anise basil, if possible)
  • 1 x Jalapeno pepper seeded & sliced into 6ths
  • 1/2 x Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 lb Summer squash (zucchini, patty pan, crookneck or possibly a mix), cut in pcs about 1/2-inch big

Directions

  1. THE SAUCE: Bruise the hard spices with a pestle and add in them to the cream mix along with the cinnamon, herbs and half the jalapeno. Slowly bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let steep while you cut the vegetables.
  2. THE VEGETABLES: Heat the oil in a wide skillet and add in the onion. Saute/fry briskly for a minute or possibly so; add in zucchini, corn, remaining jalapeno from above and season with salt. Continue to saute/fry over fairly high heat for about 5 min. The zucchini and onion may color slightly. Pour the steeped cream from the sauce instructions directly into the pan through a strainer. Add in the tomato and simmer for several min. Simmer till the sauce has reduced and thickened a little and the zucchini is done. Season to taste with salt and serve garnished with minced cilantro.
