Corn From The Islands Food

CARIBBEAN-STYLE CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Make a cut around the bright green husks of the corn at 2 inches from the end. Tear off the husks along the cut. (See photos. This step is to turn the corn cob into a handle.) Remove the silk inside.
• Wrap up each prepared ear of corn with aluminum foil and put directly on the oven rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• While the corn is baking, make the aioli. Smash up the garlic with sea salt with a pestle and mortar (or use the end of a rolling pin in a metal bowl).
• Place egg yolk and mustard in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended. Start adding oil, bit by bit, stirring vigorously till creamy. Make sure to blend well each time you add a bit oil into the egg yolk mixture.
• When all the oil has gone in and the mixture is thickened, add lemon juice and the smashed garlic with salt. Mix well. Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Stir until evenly mixed. Taste, season with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
• When corn is done, let cool for a few minutes.
• Coat each ear of corn with 2 tablespoons aioli. Make sure that all sides are covered. Sprinkle with paprika and Parmesan cheese. To finish off, top with the remaining parsley.

CARIBBEAN SWEET CORNBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, corn meal, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar. While the mixer is running, add the eggs one at a time beating well after each egg.
• Continue running the mixer and slowly one at a time, add the creamed corn, pineapple, cheese and the 1/4 cup canola oil. Mix until well blended. Slowly add the bowl of dry ingredients, and mix until well blended.
• Grease a 9x2-inch round metal pan (or 9x9 square baking dish) with the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil and set in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and immediately pour the batter into the pan and bake until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. The cornbread should be golden brown when done. (You can also separate the mixture into into two round greased pans if preferred.)
