Barbecue, Sides


2 tablespoons butter
1 small red onion, diced, about � cup
1 large red bell pepper, diced, about � cup
Salt and pepper
Cayenne or finely minced red jalape�o, optional
Kernels from 6 ears corn, about 3 cups (can grill first)
2 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into �-inch strips

If grilling corn do it first and let it cool.

1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add a pinch of cayenne or a little minced jalape�o, if using.

2. Add the corn kernels and poblano strips, season again and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked and tender, about 5 minutes (if already grilled, 2 minutes).

3. Stir in the scallions, then the creme fraiche and allow it to heat through. Taste for seasoning, and give the corn a good squeeze of lime.


Excellent
