SUMMER SQUASH-AND-CORN SAUTÉ

This makes a terrific side to just about any entrée - particularly roast chicken, grilled steak, or ham.

1 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups (1/4-inch-thick) sliced diagonally cut yellow squash (about 3/4 pound)
2 cups (1/4-inch-thick) sliced diagonally cut yellow squash (about 3/4 pound)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped green chiles
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; cook cumin seeds for 30 seconds or until toasted, stirring frequently. Add the corn, onion, and garlic; sauté 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini, yellow squash, salt, and chiles, and sauté 6 minutes or until tender. Stir in cilantro. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand 5 minutes or until cheese melts. 

Serves 6.
