Corn off the Cob, peppers and fresh peas celebrate the harvest

photo 24/8/16

Fresh corn on the cob and fresh peas are plentiful in the shops right now; take the opportunity to enjoy them at their best.  

Teamed with bell pepper and a few leftover french beans, the corn and peas were combined in a quick stir-fry to accompany poached chicken.  Leftovers were bound together with yoghurt-mayo and basil to make a delicious salad.

It's very easy to put together and takes only a few minutes to cook.

Cost: £2
Feeds: 4-6 as a side

Ingred:
    2 cobs corn
    1 whole red pepper
    160 grams fresh peas, out of their pods 
    any other raw veg (opt); in this case, chopped green beans

    pepper & salt

    2 tbsp water

Method:

1. Stand the cobs of corn on their bottom; slide a sharp knife down the sides, neatly removing the niblets and leaving the cob naked  
2. Top and tail the pepper, de-seed, and cut into small dice, a bit larger than the corn niblets
3. Heat a frying pan over high heat
4. When the pan is hot, spray generously with olive oil; toss in corn, pepper, peas and any other raw veg; reduce heat to med high
5. Stir fry rapidly for 2-3 mins, adding a tablespoon of water to prevent catching
6. Test for doneness; season with pepper & salt
7. Decant into a serving dish

Tips:

• frozen peas and packaged corn can replace fresh
• turn leftovers into a salad by binding but not drowning the mix with yoghurt mayo and a tsp of fresh shredded basil or 1/4 tsp dried
