Notes

- This is a very forgiving recipe, adjust the quantities as needed and feel free to play around with additional farmers market finds!
- To remove the skin off of fresh tomatoes, drop them in boiling water for about 30 seconds or until the skin peels easily off. Use canned tomatoes if necessary. Fire-roasted canned tomatoes give a great flavor.
- In a pinch, you can use canned corn or frozen corn.
