Generously Overflowing Golden Yellow Corn And Pepper Lunch

“Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.”

Douglas Adams, quoted in The Guardian

 

This is a quick lunch which I invented when I was in Sardinia. I serve it with Pistoccu di San Vito, one of the many excellent and interesting Sardinian breads. It’s very quick and easy to make.

 

Recipe for yellow peppers and golden corn

For two

  • 1 large yellow pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1 260g/9 oz tin corn on the cob
  • 1 fat clove of garlic
  • 1 200g/7 oz packet of feta (the real Greek stuff, not Danish)
  • Plus any leftover soft cheese you have to hand. I had some old brie which I diced and included
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp thick balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp honey (ideally Sardinian bitter honey, or chestnut honey)
  • Smoked salt and Indonesian long black pepper

Serve with interesting bread – ciabatta is a good choice.
