Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Wash the fresh produce and use clean utensils. Unless specified below, vegetable weights refer to the prepared edible parts. Reserve 120 ml of the listed water for blending.

  2. Step 2

    Remove the sweet pepper stem, seeds and white ribs; dice the flesh. Use fresh sweetcorn kernels cut from the cob; weigh kernels only. Use canned chipotle peppers in adobo, drained of free sauce but with their clinging coating; weigh the drained peppers and mince. This makes a hot, smoky condiment. Peel and finely mince red onion. Use ground black pepper; measure before adding.

  3. Step 3

    Combine the prepared sweet pepper, corn, red onion, chipotle peppers in adobo, red wine vinegar, black pepper in a blender with all the olive oil. Add the 120 ml of blending water. Blend until evenly combined, stopping to scrape down the bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer to a clean serving container and rest for 10 minutes. Serve promptly, or refrigerate in a shallow covered container at 4°C or below and use within 2 days. Keep total time at room temperature under 2 hours; stir before serving.
