Summer Corn And Black Bean Medley Sbd Friendly Recipes

CORN AND BEAN MEDLEY

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, saute the bacon until very crispy and all of the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain. Set aside. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings from the pan and save for another use. To the hot bacon drippings add the onion and cook until lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the corn, thyme, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, remaining teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a brisk simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost completely reduced, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the green onions, stir to combine, then cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry. Reheat slowly, if necessary, before serving.

• Dice the spring onion and add it to the mixing bowl
• Include the chickpeas whole and hydrated along with the corn into the bowl
• Add the thinly sliced carrots along with chopped fresh parsley
• If you want to add sliced black olives or feta cheese crumble, you can addthem now.
• They are both optional, and I'm a huge fan of feta or a goat cheese crumble on salads.
• Once all of the vegetables are chopped and inside the bowl, add thevinaigrette and gently stir.
• The vinaigrette should cover the corn and bean salad.
