Preparation

Step 1
Soften the onion in the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the peppers and cook over medium heat until soft.
Step 2
Meanwhile, drop the tomatoes into boiling water, drain them and peel off their skins. Add them to the skillet and cook them for 20 minutes over moderate heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Trim the beans and cut them into 1½-inch slices. Add them with the water and cook until they are tender and the water has evaporated (about 10 minutes). Scrape the kernels from the corn, add them to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with basil and serve.
