Sauteed Corn, Spinach and Green Beans

This is one of those "duh" recipes. Something that we all could come up with...but we didn't, did we? I keep frozen veggies on hand at all times, but hadn't ever thought to put this particular combination together. And of course, Martha's minions make it really delicious with the addition of thyme and a splash of vinegar. It's an easy and healthy side dish. (And hearty enough that we made it the centerpiece of our all veggie meal the other night.)


Sauteed Corn, Spinach and Green Beans
From Martha Stewart's Everyday Food.

Serves four.


1 tablespoon olive oil
1 box (10 ounces) frozen corn kernels
1 box (10 ounces) frozen cut green beans
5 ounces baby spinach (equivalent to one pre-packed container in produce section)
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
coarse salt and ground pepper
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add corn and green beans, and cook until green beans are warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes.

Add spinach and thyme. Cook, tossing, until spinach is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in vinegar; season with salt and pepper.
