Sautéed Jalapeño Corn Food

CREAMED CORN WITH JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heated large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add shallot and jalapeno. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Puree 1/2 bag of corn in food processor or blender. Add pureed corn and remaining frozen corn to pan. Add cream, water, and cheese. Stir and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and serve warm.

SKILLET CORN WITH JALAPENO

Steps:

• Remove the husks and silks from the corn and use a sharp knife to slice the kernels off the cob.
• Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet (cast iron works well) over medium heat. Add the corn and diced jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is just starting to get tender, about 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle the sugar over the top and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue to cook, stirring, for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until corn is tender to your liking and some of the kernels are beginning to brown slightly and caramelize. Serve immediately.

CREAMY JALAPENO CORN

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low until corn is tender, stirring occasionally, 4-5 hours.

SOUTHWESTERN SAUTEED CORN

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in tomato, lime juice, salt and cumin. Cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro.

CORN WITH JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Combine corn, jalapenos, onion, pimentos, and butter in microwave safe bowl. Cover, and cook in the microwave on 100% power until heated through, about 4 minutes depending on your microwave. Stir every minute. Serve hot.

SLOW COOKED JALAPENO CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Scrape the corn off the cobs with a knife into a large foil roasting pan. Add the cream, butter, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic and sliced jalapenos, and mix it all together.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until the casserole is golden on top and the corn is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

SAUTéED JALAPEñO CORN

Steps:

• Toast the cumin seeds in a hot dry pan for a minute or so to bring out the fragrant oils, let cool a bit, then pulverize in a mortar along with a pinch of coarse salt.
• Cover the bottom of a sauté pan with a coating of olive oil, put over medium heat, and add the garlic. (A tip to avoid burning garlic: Instead of adding chopped garlic to oil that may be too hot and will scorch it immediately, heat the garlic with the oil from the start, and you will see and hear it cooking gently and can prevent it from overheating.) When the garlic begins to sizzle, add the cumin and jalapeño and cook gently for another minute or so. Add the corn. Stir it while it cooks and, if needed, add a splash of water. The corn cooks quickly and will be done in 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with a few grinds of pepper and serve.

FRESH CORN CASSEROLE WITH RED BELL PEPPERS AND JALAPENOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the corn from the husks. In a large, deep bowl, slice off the kernels of corn with a sharp knife. Turn the knife to the dull side and scrape the cob all the way down to remove all the bits of kernel and creamy milk inside. (I do this inside the bowl because it goes everywhere if you cut it on a board.)
• Add the red bell peppers, jalapenos, heavy cream, milk, salt to taste, a generous amount of pepper and butter and mix it well. Pour into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Bake until thoroughly warmed through, 30 to 45 minutes.
