Maque Choux (Cajun Corn Sautee)

Submitted by strawberrybird

"A spicy cajun corn dish perfect with chicken or shrimp."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 12 ears fresh corn
• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 jalapeno, diced (be careful when cutting to protect your eyes, wash your hands after handling)
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup crushed tomatoes
• 1⁄2 cup water
• salt
• cayenne

directions

1. Cut the corn from the cob. Scrape the cobs with the blunt edge of the knife to remove the "milk." Set aside.
2. Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden and soft, about 10 minutes.
3. Add corn, tomatoes, and water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
4. Add salt, jalapeno, and cayenne and cook until corn is very tender, 20-30 minutes more.

Made as directed, an easy and pleasing side-dish with a little kick! Enjoyed for ZWT9, Panthers On The Prowl, thank you strawberrybird!

Nice refreshing change to plain corn though both hubby & I felt something was missing. I had to make it with coconut oil as I'm allergic to dairy and that may be exactly what was missing. Next time will try with a butter flavoured margarine. Thanks for posting, SB ! Made during ZWT9 for team Tasty Testers :)

This was a very tasty corn dish! I used fresh grape tomatoes instead of crushed, otherwise made as directed. The jalapeno and cayenne gave this a nice kick. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for ZWT9, The Apron String Travelers
