J-rap Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I don't cook corn much anymore, because other vegetables seem so much better for you! But corn feels right for Thanksgiving. I'd love to find a corn recipe that's a little different, feels fresh and sort of healthy, and tastes yummy. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Super basic/easy...sauteed corn. in a large pan on medium heat, melt 1/2 stick butter, dump in large bag of frozen corn, lightly sprinkle with salt. Mix corn and cook down until corn starts sticking to pan and browning. When some kernels are toasted/browned (not blackened) on a side, add a bit of pepper (or freshly ground tri-color or red pepper to look prettier), mix and quickly pull off of burner. I put this in a corning wear container covered w/aluminum foil and then lid to keep warm. It's basic, simple, and always the first to go. Make sure the corn is sticking to the bottom as this means the natural sugars are coming out of the corn, meaning good taste, but don't overcook it because it'll become a bit rubbery. If it's a large crowd, it's very easy to double. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 This sounds good! I'll experiment at home first. ? Is tri-color pepper a spice that you get at the grocery store? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmasc Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 My dad used to make the corn in ChrisB’s post, but he called it fried corn. ? But whatever it’s called, it’s delicious! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is tri-color pepper a spice that you get at the grocery store? I get the tri-color mix of whole peppercorns (white, black, pink), run them through a small pepper mill, and only add a small amount to the corn. Freshly ground pepper is quite strong. If you're looking for even more color, you could put a small bit of fresh chopped parsley right before serving.

For being so basic, I'm surprised how many requests there are for it. Sauteed sounds so much more sophisticated (swoon emoji), right?!...lol...whatever, I'm just glad it's super simple to make. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkTulip Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 This is one of my favorites. We love it in the summer but also make it with frozen corn in the winter. So yummy! https://www.kiwiandcarrot.com/mexican-corn-salad/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 You can oven roast corn to get a similar result to the sautéed version. Very tasty (and mostly hands off cooking). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that corn and lima beans? yes. and you can put tomatoes etc. It's especially nice with roasted corn. Which you can easily achieve by putting the cobs on a gas burner ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
