I really enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for providing it. However, I did make a few little variations based on a recipe from the Cornucopia Wholefood & Vegetarian Restaurant (in Dublin): I added a leek, more garlic, 2 sticks of celery, and above all, I fried half of the corn (directly from frozen and with no oil in the frying pan) along with a tblsp of brown sugar (to cut the acidity of the tomatoes). I only submit the idea in case someone else finds it useful.
