Curried Corn (Recipe)

Ingredients

2 16-ounce cans sweet corn, drained or two 10-ounce packages frozen corn, thawed and drained

1/4 cup chopped green sweet pepper

2 tablespoons grated onion

3 tablespoons butter or margarine

3/4 cup diary sour cream

1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon curry powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps

1.  Saute the corn, green sweet pepper and onion in the butter or margarine for 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

2.  Stir in the sour cream, curry powder, salt and pepper.  Heat the mixture slowly, stirring constantly; do not allow the mixture to boil or the sour cream may curdle.

Tips:

If you love curry, try increasing the curry powder to 3/4 teaspoon.

If you make this dish with canned corn, you may want to omit the salt.

For a subtle variation and more color contrast, try substituting red sweet pepper for the green.

To grate the onion, rub the cut surface of a peeled onion across the smaller holes of a shredder.

To ensure their freshness, buy your spices in small quantities and replace them once a year.  To determine the freshness, check the color and aroma.  When fresh, spices usually have a bright, rich color and a strong aroma when you open the container.
