Oaxaca Summer Squash and Corn Medley

1 yellow crookneck squash, sliced thin
1 zucchini, sliced thin
1 small eggplant, peeled, and cut into 1″ cubes (optional)
2 medium corn on the cob
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
4 ounces of Oaxaca Queso Fresco, cut into 1/2″ cubes
2 T. salsa verde
1 T. salt
salt and pepper to taste

In a sautee pan, add the olive oil and heat over medium until a splash of water sizzles.  Add the eggplant cubes and sprinkle evenly with 1 T. salt.  Sautee for five minutes over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover pan and cook for 15 minutes.  Add onions, zucchini and squash.  Stir well and cover.  Continue cooking over low heat for another 15 minutes.  Meanwhile, using a sharp paring knife, hold the corn cob small side up and cut the kernels off the cob.  Add pesto or salsa verde to squash and eggplant mixture at the end of the total 30 minutes cooking time.  Eggplant and onions should be transluscent and squash should be soft but the slices still intact.  Taste.  Correct the seasoning.  Just before serving, add the fresh corn kernels and Queso Fresco.  Stir.  Cover for 2-3 minutes until cheese begins to soften and kernels are cooked.
