Corn And Cauliflower Sauteed In Bourbon Butter Food

CORN CASSEROLE WITH CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine whole kernel corn plus liquid with cream-style corn in a large bowl; gently mix until combined. Stir in cream cheese and butter. Add cornbread mix, stir until incorporated. Mix in cauliflower until just blended. Transfer mixture to a 9x13-inch casserole and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

BLUE CRABS WITH SPICY BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the beer and vinegar with 1 cup of water in a very large pot. Add a steamer insert and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Add the crabs and 1/4 cup of the Old Bay and cook, covered, until the crabs are bright red, 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the size. Transfer the crabs to a large platter and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Old Bay.
• Serve the hot crabs with the Spicy Butter and lemon wedges on the side.
• Make the butter while the crabs cook: combine the butter, Old Bay, cayenne and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat. Melt the butter, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface. Pour the melted butter into a small ramekin, leaving the milk solids in the saucepan.

GRILLED CORN WITH SMOKY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
• Mix the butter with the smoked paprika, ground mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
• Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes.
• Serve the corn with the butter on the side. Leftover butter can be kept refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

SAUTEED CAULIFLOWER

Steps:

• Remove the base of the stem of the cauliflower with a sharp knife.
• From the top down, cut the cauliflower into 1/4 inches slices. (Some of the slices will crumble, but those still taste good, they just don't look as pretty.).
• Heat 2 Table olive oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick frying pan.
• Add one batch of the cauliflower (in a single layer) and cook until brown on the first side. Use a spachula to flip over the cauliflower.
• Fry the cauliflower until brown on the second side, adding more olive oil if needed.
• At this time, I usually add 2-3 Table. water, turn over the cauliflower again, cover and cook for several more minutes.
• Repeat on the second side if the cauliflower is not quite tender. The cauliflower tastes best if it has gotten very brown.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Remove the first batch, keeping warm, and doing a second and third batch (if you still have cauliflower to cook) until all of the cauliflower has been sauteed.

SAUTéED CORN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Sauté the corn kernels and mushrooms in butter, leaving them hot.
• Add garlic powder to the sauté. Mix well.
• Serve hot with other dishes.
