Sweet Corn Dish Side Dish Recipes

STEAMED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Husk the corn and remove the silk. Trim off any discolored kernels or any that have been damaged by insects. Depending on the size of your steamer basket, you may need to cut the ears of corn in half so they are short enough to fit.
• Add 2 inches of water to a large pot and insert a steamer rack. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the steamer rack. If it is, pour some of it off.
• Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• When the water begins to boil, place the corn into the steamer basket inside the pot using a pair of tongs.
• Cover the pot and let the corn steam for 4 minutes or until it turns deep yellow and crisp. If you prefer softer corn, steam for 7 minutes. For the softest corn, steam for 10 to 15 minutes. The longer you steam the corn, the more attention you must pay to the water level. Don't let it fall lower than 1 inch or it may run dry and scorch your pot.
• Turn off the burner and carefully remove the corn from the pot with tongs. Serve as is or with butter, salt, and pepper.

ALMA'S SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Slice corn from the cob into a large skillet, leaving about a third of the kernel still on the cob. Using the back of the knife, scrape all of the juice and remaining kernels into the skillet. Stir in water, sugar, and salt and cook over medium high heat until sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.

SWEET CORN CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Stir whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, sugar, egg, and about 3/4 of the melted butter together in a casserole dish. Fold about half the crushed crackers into the corn mixture. Sprinkle remaining crushed crackers over the top of the mixture and drizzle with the remaining butter.
• Bake in preheated oven until beginning to brown, 25 to 30 minutes.

HABANERO HONEY SWEET CORN CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously butter a 9-inch pie dish.
• Combine fresh corn kernels, habanero pepper, eggs, water, and honey in a bowl. Puree with an immersion blender until almost smooth. Add flour, melted butter, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder; whisk until combined.
• Transfer mixture into the greased pie dish. Shake gently to settle mixture into the dish.
• Bake in the center of the preheated oven until golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool until warm or room temperature before serving.
