Portions:   4                            

Serving size:  1/2 cup

Ingredients

  • 4 teaspoons canola oil        
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup sweet corn kernels (frozen or fresh cut from the cob)       
  • 1/4 cup red or green bell peppers, cut julienne style
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1/4 cup raw mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 dash red chili flakes
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon bottled barbecue sauce

Preparation

  1. Heat oil, onion and corn in a skillet over medium-high heat.  Cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently until onion turns translucent and corn begins to brown.

  3. Remove from heat and stir in barbeque sauce.  Divide into 4 portions and serve.
