Comanche Fried Corn image

My father likes to make this when we go camping. But it's great anytime. It works for lunch or dinner, and even makes a great salad cold. My dad adapted this from a Comanche recipe that he'd been given a long time ago. Comanche's are a nomadic Native American tribe that roved the southern Great Plains concentrating around Oklahoma, Texas, California, and New Mexico. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large onion, diced
1/2 lb bacon (cooked and diced)
8 ears corn
1 bell pepper, diced
1 (4 ounce) can ortega canned chilies (any heat) (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic
1 pinch salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • First, fry the bacon. Let it cool and tear into small pieces.
  • Leave the grease in the pot and set aside.
  • Shuck and wash the corn. Make sure you get all the silk.
  • With a sharp knife, slice the kernels off of the cob. Then keep scraping until you reach the cob to get all the juice and corn.
  • Sauté the onion in the reserved grease until they are clear.
  • Add the corn, bacon, chiles, salt & pepper and the garlic.
  • Simmer over a low heat and stir often so it doesn't stick.
  • When it's heated through, drain the grease if preferred and serve.
  • Note: This calls for fresh corn, but it's super easy to use canned or frozen.
