    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 cup finely diced white onion
    • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
    • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or Homemade Almond Milk
    • 1 clove garlic minced
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
    • 3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
    • 2 pounds zucchini thinly sliced lengthwise (see tip)
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Combine the oil and onion in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir well. Spread the onion out to evenly cover the bottom of the saucepan. Decrease the heat to low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally and spreading out the onion again, for 30 minutes. If the onion is sticking, add 1 tablespoon of water. Do not let the onion brown.
    • Add the corn, almond milk, garlic, and salt, and stir to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Decrease the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the corn is tender, about 8 minutes.
    • Transfer to a blender and process on high speed until smooth. Return to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the chives and stir to combine.
    • Fill a large saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain well and add to the sauce. Toss gently but thoroughly.
    • Season with salt and pepper and toss again. Garnish with the remaining tablespoon of chives and serve at once.

    Tip: A mandoline is very helpful for obtaining thin, uniform slices of zucchini. Or, you can also use a vegetable peeler.
