• ¼–½ bottle chardonnay
• 2 cans creamed corn
• 1 can corn niblets, drained

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add 1 diced onion and cook until browned.

3. Add 2 minced garlic cloves, 1½ diced red bell peppers, and ½" minced habanero. Sauté until softened.

4. Add 1 sliced smoked sausage and brown lightly.

5. Pour in ¼–½ bottle chardonnay and stir, scraping up any browned bits.

Tips

• Start with less habanero—you can always add more heat but can’t take it away.
• Andouille sausage works great for extra Cajun flavor.
• Serve over rice or with crusty bread.
