Corn for July

Top 10 Ways to Enjoy Corn

 

  1. Veer from the Usual Ear. Sprinkle your corn-on-the-cob with a little Parmesan cheese or some of your favorite herbs and spices, such as chili powder, parsley, and chives. Here’s another idea … try our Corn on the Cob with Chili-Lime Butter.
  2. Quick Corn for Lunch? Microwave It! Open husk but do not remove leaves. Remove silk and wash the corn kernels. Close leaves around corn and microwave for 1-2 minutes until cooked.
  3. A Healthy Sauté. Sauté cooked corn in a small amount of oil with green chilis and onions. Served hot, this makes a wonderful side dish.
  4. A Taco Salad without Corn? No Way! Here’s a Taco Salad that will take you south of the border.
  5. Perfect in Dips, Sides, or Toppings! Try our Roasted Corn Salsa. It’s great with low-fat tortilla chips, as a side to grilled meat or as a topping for your burger. Roasted corn kernels are also great in quesadillas!
  6. Say Cheese!These Cheesy Corn Potatoes will put a smile on your face.
  7. Relish Your Corn. Make a corn relish to serve as a side dish or salad by combining chopped vegetables and beans mixed with vinaigrette. Try this: corn, chopped red onion, chopped red and green peppers, pinto beans and tomatoes.
  8. Corn in Cornbread? Imagine That! For a little different texture, add corn to your cornbread or corn muffins.
  9. Add a Little Crunch to Your Guacamole. Add corn kernels and diced tomatoes to guacamole or salsa.
  10. Beef Up Your Soup! Adding corn to soup, whether it’s chili or chowder, enhances the soup’s hardiness, as well as its nutritional profile. Try this quickie: Quick Fish Chowder
