Ingredients

SERVINGS: 9 servings
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, plus more for the baking dish
  • 3 poblano peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1-1½ bunch(es) green onions, sliced
  • 2 1-pound packages frozen corn, thawed, divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2½ teaspoons fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1½ pounds prepared gluten-free cornbread, coarsely crumbled

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish; set aside.

Heat butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add poblano and bell peppers stirring occasionally until just golden and tender. Add onions and 1 package of corn. Continue cooking until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Set aside to let cool then drain some of the liquid.

Pulse the other bag of corn in a food processor with eggs, maple syrup, salt and pepper until well combined and almost smooth.

In a large bowl, combine cooled pepper mixture with corn mixture. Gradually fold in cornbread. Do not over mix; stuffing should have a coarse texture.

Transfer to prepared dish, cover with parchment paper, then cover tightly with foil. Bake 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until golden brown on top, about 15 minutes more.
