Corn and Peppers

This is a great summer side dish when fresh, sweet corn is in season. I prefer not to cook sweet corn and bell peppers too much so I only quickly saute them. This is a great side to any BBQ or Mexican.

1 clove garlic, minced
2 ears of sweet corn or 1.5 cups of frozen corn
1/2 red bell pepper
1/2 poblano pepper

Place the poblano under the broiler until the skin begins to blister. Turn the pepper so that all sides are blistered. Place in a plastic bag and let sit for about 5 minutes. Remove from bag and peel off the skin. Dice the pepper.
Remove the kernels from the cob or defrost the frozen corn, whichever you are using. Dice the red bell pepper.
Heat a medium skillet and coat with oil. When it is hot add the garlic and cook until just starting to brown, no more than 5 minutes. Add the cumin, corn, poblano, red pepper and some salt and pepper. Sautee for about 3 minutes.
