If you're looking for a vibrant and flavorful side dish that's simple to prepare, Corn and Peppers with Buttery Onions and Tomatoes is a perfect choice. This dish combines the sweetness of corn, the boldness of red peppers, and the richness of buttery onions to create a harmonious blend of tastes and textures. Perfect for any meal, it can complement a variety of main dishes or stand alone as a hearty vegetarian option.
Instructions:
- Place a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of butter and allow it to melt entirely, spreading it evenly across the pan.
- Add the finely chopped onions to the melted butter. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and tender.
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.
- Sprinkle ground red pepper and salt into the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.
- Add the sweet corn kernels to the pan. Combine everything thoroughly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the corn warm up and meld with the other flavors.
- Gently fold in the chopped tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to break down slightly and release their juices.
- Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the whole milk. Stir continuously and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the milk to thicken slightly.
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or ground red pepper according to your taste preference.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the corn and pepper mix hot as a side dish, or over rice or with bread for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Ensure you cook the onions until they are translucent to bring out their sweetness.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper spice according to your preferred level of spiciness.
- For a creamier texture, you can replace the milk with heavy cream.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor; if they are not available, canned tomatoes can be used as an alternative.
- For a different flavor profile, try adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of smoked paprika.
