Country Corn

Corn is one vegetable that I can get everyone in the house to eat, which means that I need to come up with different variations of it to keep it interesting.  We love corn on the cob, but sometimes we like to keep our hands clean so I cut it off the cob.  I have a great recipe for Creamed Corn this one is different because it doesn't call for any cream but it still thickens to become one of the best comfort foods that I make.

Ingredients:

• 3 Large Ears of Corn (cooked and cut off the cob)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Butter
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Flour
• 1 teaspoon of Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon Pepper
• 3/4 Cup of Water
• A Couple Dashes of Onion Powder

Combine flour, sugar, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.  Whisk in water.  Melt butter in skillet.  Add in corn and flour/water mixture.  Stir.  Let mixture simmer for about 30 minutes stirring occasionally.  Mixture will thicken as it cooks creating a creamy side dish everyone will love!

I served this with Key Lime BBQ Chicken and Rice

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Basil Sea Salt Butter

 I like to enjoy corn on the cob often during the season because I think it can give any dinner a summer twist.  I have made corn on the cob in the oven, on the stove, on a campfire, and on the grill.  Making it on the grill is SUPER easy and it eliminates all pots and pans!

Ingredients:

• 6 Ears of Corn on the Cob
• 2 Fresh Basil Leaves
• 4 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
• Sea Salt to taste

Serves 6

Combine butter, lemon juice, basil leaves, and sea salt in small food processor.  Pulse until well combined. This works better if the butter is a LITTLE soft.  Then use a small rubber spatula to form into a log. I usually place it on a piece of plastic wrap and stick it in the freezer for a couple of minutes to harden it a little and make it easier to form.  Then I place it in fridge until I am ready to use it.  When it is cold it is easy to slice and place on top of corn.  

Soak the corn in the husks in cold water for about 15-20 minutes.  This will keep the moisture in the corn and keep the husks from burning.  

Place corn on the grill with the rest of your delicious dinner. Rotate the corn often.  Cook for about 15 minutes.  Carefully remove husks from cob, they will be HOT!

Serve immediately with the Basil Sea Salt Butter

I served this with Garlic Balsamic Flank Steak and Grilled Baked Potatoes.  

Sweet Creamed Corn

A couple of months ago, my mother-in-law asked me if I liked Creamed Corn and I realized I didn't know because I had never had it.  I have grown up a little and will try just about anything (not that creamed corn is adventurous)!  I figured that her and I could figure out a recipe because if I was going to try Creamed Corn, it was NOT going to come from a can!!!

Ingredients:

• 3-4 Ears of Corn
• 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream
• 1 Tablespoon Flour
• 1 Tablespoon Milk (I used 1%)
• 1 1/2 Tablespoons Sugar
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 2 Tablespoons of Butter

Serves about 5 people

 So I didn't dirty another pot, I just threw the corn, heavy cream, butter, sugar, salt, and pepper all back in the same pot that I just boiled the corn in over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is hot.

 In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and milk until smooth.  Turn heat to high and stir for 1-2 minutes as mixture thickens.

This recipe could easily be doubled or even tripled for a larger batch to serve more people.
