Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
27g
1 cup onion
160g
1 cup red pepper
90g
1 tbsp red pepper (spice)
5g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 cup sweet corn
170g
2 tomatoes
250g
1 cup milk (3.25% fat)
240g

Instructions:

1. Melt Butter:
- 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.
2. Cook Onions:
- Add the finely chopped onions to the melted butter. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and tender.
3. Add Red Bell Pepper:
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the peppers to soften.
4. Season:
- Sprinkle ground red pepper and salt into the mixture. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the vegetables.
5. Add Corn:
- 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.
6. Incorporate Tomatoes:
- 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.
7. Pour Milk:
- 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.
8. Check Seasoning:
- Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt or ground red pepper according to your taste preference.
9. Serve:
- 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.
