Black Bean and Corn Relish

Ingredients:
  • 1 can cooked black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can's worth Trader Joe's Frozen White Corn
  • 2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 6 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper


Directions:

Mince garlic and set aside.  Drain and rinse the black beans and set aside.  Thaw corn and set aside.  Mince red bell pepper and set aside.  Hope green onions and set aside.

Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and toss well. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.

Refrigerate relish for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, before serving.


Myrtle's Note:  I wanted a black bean and corn relish recipe, but only found a black bean one that had what I wanted in it, so I tweaked Emeril a bit.  The longer it sits, the better it gets.  I just loved it the second day!


Yield: 6 servings
