1. Prepare vegetables. 

1. Cook the corn cobs for 8-10 minutes in boiling water. Remove and when cool to touch slice off kernels.

Add onion, garlic, chilli and capsicum and cook, stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes or until heated through, Add corn, kidney beans, cannellini beans and canned tomatoes, cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring until texture is soft and heated through. Fold through coriander and mint.
