Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh pepper or 4 Cups frozen or 4 cups canned corn
  • 1/8 Cup olive oil
  • 1 medium sweet onion – diced
  • 1 fresh red or green bell pepper or 1 Cup frozen chopped bell pepper
  • 3 TBS chili powder
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 Cups chicken stock Vegan – vegetable stock
  • ½ cup heavy cream Vegan -½ Cup Coconut Cream
  • 3 cloves garlic minced.

Instructions

  • Cut the kernels off of the corn cob if using fresh corn. Place ¼ of the corn kernels (regardless if frozen, fresh or canned) into blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
  • Heat olive oil in heavy skillet (prefer cast iron skillet) over medium heat, add onions and bell peppers, cook while stirring until onions are soft – about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder and cook, stirring constantly for one minute.
  • Add the wine, chicken stock, pureed corn and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally – boil for about 15 minutes until reduced by ½.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add the cream (coconut cream), corn kernels, garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. VERY IMPORTANT TO TASTE! Peppers are more/less bitter depending on the season – any bitter taste can be reduced/eliminated by adding more salt.
  • Garnish – use whatever works with your dish – very yummy with scallions, avocado, tomato, sour cream, cheese – your choice!
