Corn With Fresh Herbs Food

HERBED CORN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine corn and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until corn is tender, 3-4 minutes. Drain; stir in the remaining ingredients.

CORN WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape the cobs to release the corn milk into the bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and corn milk, 1 tablespoon water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the kernels are tender,3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chives, basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; toss to combine.

GRILLED CORN WITH HERBS

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
• Grill corn (in husks) on lightly oiled grill rack, turning, covered, until kernels are tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove corn from grill and let stand until cool enough to handle but still warm, about 10 minutes.
• Discard husks and stem ends from corn. Cut kernels off cobs with a large knife and toss with herbs and lime butter sauce.

CORN WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Husk the corn and rub off the silk with a lightly moistened towel. Holding one ear upright at a time, cut off the kernels in ribbons and put them in a bowl. Separate the kernels by rubbing them with your fingers.
• Pour the oil into a large, preferably nonstick, lidded pan or wok and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, put in the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the kalonji seeds. Stir once, then add the ginger and chilies. Stir for 30 seconds, put in the corn, cilantro, mint, scallions, and dill, and toss well to mix. Add 4 tablespoons of water, the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to mix and cover. When steam begins to escape from under the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss again and taste for a balance of seasonings, making any adjustments you think necessary. If you like, stir in the butter just before serving.
