Corn and Pepper Stir Fry

Published August 25, 2013

Corn might not be the first veggie that comes to mind when you think stir fry, but maybe it should be. I had some fresh local sweet corn and a couple of sweet peppers. I wanted to use them for a quick lunch today so I decided to stir fry them with some other veggies. The corn and peppers worked so well together. I was lucky enough to even have some broccoli from my yard. With just a few more ingredients and a little time I ended up with a really wonderful meal.

2 T. oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 c. sliced sweet pepper

1 c. chopped fresh broccoli

In wok or skillet heat oil and cook onion until tender. Add squash and cook 3 minutes. Add corn and peppers and cook, stirring often 3 more minutes. Add broccoli and cook a few minutes longer, until veggies are tender/crisp. Add almonds and seasonings and toss together. Cook 1 minute more and serve. Serves 2.
