(http://vegkitchen.com/)
4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
1 tablespoon light olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large green bell pepper, finely
diced
2 medium firm ripe tomatoes,
chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons unbleached white
flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
A few grains cayenne pepper
1 cup low-fat milk or soymilk
3 cups cooked fresh corn kernels
(from 3 to 4 ears), or thawed frozen kernels
Salt and freshly ground black
pepper
1 tablespoon non-hydrogenated
margarine, melted
1 cup soft whole grain bread crumbs
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet.
Add the onion and sauté over medium-low heat until it is golden. Add
the bell pepper and tomatoes and continue to sauté just until they
soften.
- Sprinkle in the flour, paprika,
and cayenne, stirring them in until well blended. Pour the milk in
slowly, stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the
corn and simmer for another minute or so. Season to taste with salt
and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into an oiled
shallow oblong baking pan. Quickly toss the melted margarine with
the bread crumbs until evenly coated and distribute the crumbs over
the corn mixture. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the crumbs begin to
turn crusty. Serve at once.
