Okay, so today I wanna talk about this dish called Corn O’Brien. I whipped it up the other day, and let me tell you, it was a hit! I mean, who doesn’t love corn, right? But this isn’t just your regular corn, it’s got some pizzazz.
First off, I started by gathering all my ingredients. I had some canned corn, because, let’s be honest, it’s just easier sometimes. Then I grabbed a couple of bell peppers, one green and one red, just to make things colorful. I also got some pimentos, which are kinda like sweet, mild chili peppers. And of course, you can’t forget the butter! Everything’s better with butter.
Next, I chopped up those bell peppers into nice little pieces. I like to dice them pretty small, so they cook evenly and you get a little bit in every bite. Then I opened up the pimentos and chopped them up too. Now, here’s a little tip: you can adjust how many peppers you use depending on how much you like them. I personally like a good amount, but you do you.
Cooking Time
Once everything was prepped, I heated up a big pan on the stove. I threw in a good chunk of butter and let it melt all over the place. That’s when the magic starts to happen, folks. Then, in went the onions, green peppers, and pimentos, I sauteed them in the butter for a bit, just until they started to get soft, maybe 2 or 3 minutes. You don’t want them to be mushy, just a little tender.
After that, I added in the corn. I used canned corn to save time. You can also add fresh corn. I seasoned the whole thing with some salt and pepper. Nothing too fancy, just enough to bring out the flavors. I let it all cook together for a few more minutes, just until the corn was heated through.
The Result
- Colorful: The red and green peppers really make this dish pop.
