Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp oil
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 white onion, sliced thinly
- 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
- 2 cobs fresh corn, kernels removed
- 1 420g tin butter beans or cannellini
- 1 green mild chilli, deseeded and sliced thinly
- ½ stock cube, veg or chicken
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Handful fresh parsley roughly cut
FRESH CORN, BEANS AND PARSLEY
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
