Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 1 lb corn kernel (cut from the cob or frozen and thawed)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper
• 1 pinch cayenne

Recipe

• 1 in the skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat until melted.
• 2 add the onion and saute until wilted but not brown.
• 3 add the bell peppers and the corn and stir to coat everything with butter, sprinkle with some salt, pepper, and cayenne, and continue cooking over med-low heat, stirring frequently, until all liquid (if any) completely evaporates, the vegetables start to take on a slight caramalization and the whole room smells really, really good.
• 4 (this should take about 20 minutes).
• 5 taste, adjust the seasonings if you need to, and serve.
• 6 note: i say to use a cast iron skillet because, as with cornbread, i believe this dish suffers in flavor if it is not cooked in one.
• 7 however, if you don't have one, you can use another skillet- just know that it would be much better cooked in a cast iron skillet.
