Preparation

Step 1
Slice the zucchini in pieces about an eighth of an inch thick. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and saute the zucchini with the garlic and pepper over high heat, so that the zucchini browns but does not become mushy. Remove with a slotted spoon to a serving dish.
Step 2
Meanwhile, shave the kernels from the corn, using a sharp knife. Add the corn to the frying pan and cook for three minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the garlic from the pan and add the corn to the zucchini.
Step 3
Toss the vegetables together and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the basil and toss. Serve hot or at room temperature.
