Viva la Corn!

So, Hubbs is a super-duper soccer ("football") fan and cheered his little British heart out for England in the recent World Cup only to get sheer disappointment in return. Poor guy... after a few days sulking, he began to root, quite convincingly I might add, for the Dutch. Alas, the Dutch made it to the finals but lost to Spain in extra time. Lesson here: don't put your money on Hubbs' picks!

At any rate, well done to Spain! In honor of their victory (and my own half-hearted relief that the World Cup is finally over) I offer a fun little side dish.... VIVA LA CORN!

Viva la Corn!
(super easy, healthy, and gluten-free with a kick!)
  1. Mix one can of black beans (drained and rinsed) with one can corn (drained)
  2. Add about a 1/4 cup (or however much pleases you) of salsa verde (green salsa) from a jar-- (I really like HERDEZ brand (others can get a bit too spicy in my opinion) and can find that one in the "ethnic foods" section of my grocery store)
  3. Mix together and either heat through on the stove or in the microwave, then serve hot.

Muy delicioso!


(Indeed I realize this is much more likely to be a Mexican-style dish than Spanish, but, well, I needed a theme... forgive me!)
