A change of pace for your usual corn side dish. It is both pleasing to the eye and the palate! Works equally well with fresh corn or frozen. I found this recipe in the All New Good Housekeeping Cookbook.

Time 40m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large red pepper, chopped
5 cups corn kernels (cut from about 8 ears) or 2 (16 ounce) packages frozen corn
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper (use up to 1/4 tsp)
1/4 cup half-and-half
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium-size non-stick skillet.
  • Add onion and red pepper and cook, over medium-high heat until the vegetables are soft and well browned (10 to 15 minutes).
  • Add corn, tomatoes, salt, sugar and cayenne pepper.
  • Heat until mixture starts to bubble over high heat, then reduce heat, cover and simmer until corn is tender.
  • Check and stir occasionally.
  • It will take about 20 minutes for fresh corn to cook and about 10 minutes for frozen corn.
  • When corn is done, stir in half and half and cook until it is hot.
  • Garnish by sprinkling with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley.
