Calabacitas

Serves 6

4 medium green zucchini, cubed

3 Tablespoons shortening (or olive oil)

1 clove garlic, minced

1 Tablespoon onion, chopped (I use a lot more than this)

2 green chiles, chopped

1 small can whole corn, drained or 2-3 cobs

1 cup milk (optional)

salt, to taste

Melt shortening, saute squash, onion, green chile and garlic until tender. Add corn and milk and simmer for 15 min
