Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large sweet red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8-1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the corn for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the red peppers, onions, and garlic, and saute for 4-6 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook for another minute or two.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn and vegetables provide the best flavor and texture to this dish. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Cook the rice perfectly: The rice should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and ruin the dish.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. If you overcook them, they will become limp and lose their flavor.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. Be careful not to overseason the dish, as the corn and vegetables already have a lot of flavor.
  • Garnish the dish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, parsley, or basil, add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

This corn and rice medley is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, this corn and rice medley is a great option.
