Sweet Gingered Corn Recipes

SWEET GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Soak corn in cold water for 1 to 3 hours.
• Stir together macadamia nut oil and melted butter in a bowl. Season with garlic, rosemary, sage, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper; stir in Parmesan cheese.
• Drain corn and pat dry. Spread butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn, and place each piece on a square of aluminum foil. Tightly wrap each ear and puncture to allow excess steam to escape while grilling.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
• Grill the corn cobs until tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently. Remove from the grill and check for doneness; if the corn is not done, continue cooking an additional 5 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.

CREAMED SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Stir together flour, sugar, salt, ginger, and white pepper in a small bowl.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 4 to 5 minutes (do not brown). Add corn; cook, stirring, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with flour mixture, tossing to coat; cook 1 minute. Add cream; cook, stirring, until corn is tender and mixture is thickened, about 3 minutes.

GRILLED HONEY-GINGER CORN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; spread over corn. Place each ear of corn on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fold foil around corn and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 15-20 minutes or until tender, turning every 5 minutes.

SWEET GINGERED CORN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium flame.
• Add the spices and the ginger and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Add the tomatoes and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes, or until most of the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates.
• Add the maple syrup and corn and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 5 minutes, or until corn is heated through.
• Add the scallions and mix.
• Serve immediately.
