Yield 6-8 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ears of sweet white corn, steamed and sliced from the cob
1 pound of baby spinach, washed & stemmed
2-3 medium shallots, minced
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1-2 jalapeno peppers (to taste), cored, seeded and minced
Olive oil and/or butter
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesean cheese
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Steam spinach in a heat-proof glass bowl in microwave, 1.5 to 2 minutes, until wilted. When cool enough to handle, squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. Move to cutting board and roughly chop the spinach. Set aside. Heat olive oil (one or two turns) and/or butter in a large saute pan, sauté shallots until golden. Add red bell pepper and jalapeno and sauté until soft. Add the corn and spinach to the pan, stir to combine; add the cream and let simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly. Add Parmesean cheese handful at a time, stirring after each addition. Add salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
