6 ears corn, husked and cleaned
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 large fresh tomato, chopped
¼ cup milk
salt to taste

¼ cup chopped green onions
8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled

Steps:

  • Cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn, add milk to bowl. Set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper, cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Combine corn, tomatoes, and milk with the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.

CAJUN CORN MAQUE CHOUX



Cajun Corn Maque Choux image

This classic creamy side dish takes advantage of both the sweetness and the starchiness of fresh corn. The trinity of onions, bell peppers and celery gives it a distinctive Cajun flavor, while the tomatoes add brightness. Although usually a side dish, it sometimes takes center stage with the addition of shrimp or crawfish.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ears fresh corn
4 strips bacon, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 stalks celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
5 scallions, white and green parts, sliced (reserve the sliced green parts for garnish)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the kernels off of the corn into a large bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape the sweet corn milk from the cobs to extract about 3 tablespoons and add it to the bowl. Set aside.
  • 2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and when melted, add the celery, bell peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, scallion whites, garlic, tomatoes and corn. Cook until thickened, 10 minutes.
  • 3. Serve garnished with the scallion greens and reserved bacon.
