FRESH CORN, BEANS AND PARSLEY

corn and beans

Method

  • Heat a medium sized heavy based fry pan up to a moderate heat with the oil and butter
  • Once the butter has melted add the onion and cook until softens and sweetens (4 minutes)
  • Whilst the onion is cooking, peel the corn and with a large knife run the blade away from you down the cob of corn
  • This can get messy as the corn is so juicy (I often clear out my sink and place a bowl in it and do it over that)
  • Once you have removed the kernels off the cob add them to the pan with the onions, add the garlic and chilli (deseeded and sliced thinly), and cook for 2 minutes
  • Add the beans – drain, rinse, and drain again, and ½ cup of either water or stock
  • Stir to combine and season well
  • Turn down the heat and let it bubble away to thicken and for the flavours to mature
  • Add the parsley and cook for a minute more, taste and adjust if necessary
  • It goes well with grilled chicken, pork chops or fish or quite simply a good green salad
