Spicy Corncob

Submitted by I'mPat

"From BH&G Australian Diabetic Living - a healthy snack I think I would really enjoy or the whole cob as a side."

 

• Ready In: 10mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 1 corn on the cob (husk and silk removed)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1⁄16 teaspoon chili (ground a pinch)
• 2 teaspoons reduced fat margarine (sunflower fat reduced 40%)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 2 tablespoons coriander (chopped fresh)

directions

1. Put the corncob in a large steamer basket over a saucepan of simmering water and cover and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the corn is just tender (I would use my electrical tiered steamer).
2. Put the ground coriander, cumin and chilli in a small non-stick frying pan and cook, stirring for 1 minute or until aromatic and then add the spread/margarine and garlic and cook stirring until the spread has melted.
3. Remove the pan from the heat.
4. Cut the corncob in half and add to the pan and brush with the spice mixture.
5. Add coriander, then toss to coat corncob halves and then serve and enjoy.
6. VARIATION - replace the fresh coriander with parsley or chives.

We are corn lovers in this house, and this certainly went down well.<br/>The corn was sweet, tender and juicy, and the spices spot on.<br/>I can see this becoming a habit!! Thanks Pat.<br/>Made for PRMR.

It is the height of corn season and the corn could not be sweeter or juicer if it tried! The spices in this yummy recipe make a tasty and delightful contrast to the sweetness of the corn! I made using the chive option listed in step six. We loved this corn and will be making again, thanks for the post.

Very nice change of pace from ordinary corn on the cob! I wish now I had made more than one serving ~ Served with Recipe #91504 ~ Made for Zaar's Newest Tag (all Pat's recipes were up) ~

Pat, this was delicious and ever so simple. I made it for a starter tonight and the only things I did different were to add in some salt and pepper to the marg mix and microwave my corn. The spice mix really highlighted the sweetness of our lovely fresh cobs of corn.

Wow, we loved this corn! Fresh corn is in season right now, and we have been eating a lot of it. This is a nice departure from the same old corn with butter we usually have. Easy to make and we all gave it 5 stars. I did sub butter for the margarine simply because we don't eat marg. here, but otherwise made as directed. Thanks Pat! Made for Aussie Swap :)
