YIELD 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

6 ears young corn
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup chopped onions
3/4 cup chopped bell pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cayenne
1 cup chopped, peeled and seeded tomatoes
1/2 cup soymilk

PREPARATION:

Method

  1. Cut the corn off the cob by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels and then cutting
  2. across a second time to release the milk from the corn. Scrape the cob once or twice to extract the milk. This should yield about 4 cups of corn with the milk.
  3. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers and the corn. Season with salt and cayenne and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Add soymilk, stir, cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes and then remove from heat.
