If you’re craving summer soul food or a Juneteenth side dish, look no further. This creamy corn and pepper dish is from Toni Tipton-Martin's award-winning cookbook, Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking. She credits this recipe to Monique Wells, a Texas transplant living in Paris, who helped “open the eyes of elite French cooks to the flavors of the American South and Southwest.”

Instructions

1
In a heavy skillet, heat the butter over medium-high heat until melted and sizzling. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
2
Stir in the thyme, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, sugar (if using), and corn. Cook, stirring, until the corn is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the cream and cook 5 minutes more to thicken. Stir in the parsley and green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper.
4
Serve warm.
