We are used to combining pepper and corn in salads, but have you ever tried the corn and bell pepper garnish? It goes well with grilled meat, but also without meat - the dish is simply wonderful! The sweet taste of both main ingredients is further enhanced by a spoonful of sugar, while chili and garlic add spice to the dish. If you don't overdo it with salt, you can get a kind of Asian balance of taste, when the dish is sour, sweet, spicy and salty at the same time, but at the same time none of the shades outweighs.

I like to make the bell pepper and corn garnish with red and yellow peppers. Green, unripe - not so sweet, and may even be slightly bitter, so for me personally they interfere here. But the pepper will be red or yellow, or mixed - this, in principle, makes no difference.

If you don't have tomatoes in their own juice on hand, you can substitute tomato paste for them, but then you will need to take a little more water from the canned corn.

Peel the bell pepper from green tails and seeds and cut into large pieces. The form, in principle, is not important.

Fry the peppers over high to medium heat in olive oil and a teaspoon of granulated sugar until they are soft enough and covered with brownish glaze. At this point, there should be a chili pod with the pepper. If you like spicy, you can cut it, if you don't like it, leave it uncut, but it should be there - for flavor.

When the pepper is ready, add chopped garlic and parsley, tomatoes in their own juice and corn (you can use water from a jar). If you don't want it to be spicy, remove the chili pepper, on the contrary.

With vigorous stirring, fry everything together over high heat until a thick brownish sauce forms (it will take just a couple of minutes). At the very end of cooking, salt and spice it with black pepper, if necessary.

You can use bell peppers with corn and tomatoes in your own juice as a side dish with grilled meat or seafood.

Enjoy your meal!
