Ingredients
- 2 cup cooked rice preferably made with popcorn rice
- 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 1 whole large zucchini cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 whole medium red bell pepper seeded and chopped
- 4 whole Scallions chopped
- 1 whole jalapeno pepper seeded and finely chopped
- 2 whole Garlic clove minced
- 3-1/2 cups fresh corn kernels about 7 ears; see Note or thawed frozen corn
- 1-1/2 cups Homemade Vegetable Broth vegetable bouillon or canned broth
- 1 ½ cup low-fat sour cream
- 6 whole plum tomatoes seeded and chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground toasted cumin seed
- 1 ½ tablespoon oregano leaf chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 sprig cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- In a dutch oven or flameproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini and red pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the scallions, chile pepper, and garlic. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables soften, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the corn. Cook, uncovered, until the corn is heated through, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
- Add the broth, bring to a boil, and cook until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add the sour cream, tomatoes, cumin, and oregano. Stir gently just until heated through, about 1 minute. Do not let the sour cream come to a boil or it may curdle. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the cooked rice into individual soup bowls and top with the fricassee. Garnish with the cilantro or oregano sprigs and serve immediately.
