Notes
- Serving Suggestions
- For extra flavor you can roast the bell pepper over a gas fire or under the broiler, turning occasionally. Transfer to a bag to steam 10 minutes then peel away most of the blackened skin.
- Another option is to grill the corn and the bell pepper for extra flavor.
- Serve with honey lime shrimp (or the shrimp I add to shrimp tacos) and coconut rice to make a full meal.
- Or serve aside grilled chicken breasts or thighs.
- Pair it with grilled or pan seared salmon.
- Serve over quinoa.
- Try it with flank steak.
