WANTED: Fried Corn Recipe & Tips

[Thawley]

You know what I'm talking about... That fresh cut corn off the cob, fried in its own corn milk with bacon fat. Probably easy enough that I could figure it out, but we're having a cholesterol fest this Friday and I'd like to nail it the first time.

Thanks in advance.

We render down some bacon (lots) and onions.
Add the corn.
Season as desired--we use Emeril's Essesence.
Cook on high heat till happy.
Corn should be just turning dark.

Easey Peasey :lol:

12 ears fresh corn, shucked
4 slices thick slab bacon
1/2 stick butter
Freshly ground black pepper

Remove corn from cobs by using a corn grater or knife, and mash the whole kernels a little. Slice bacon into 1-inch pieces. Cook bacon until brown in a large skillet. Remove bacon from skillet and add 1/2 stick butter to bacon grease. Over medium-high heat, pour in the corn. Fry in the grease and butter mixture. Lower the temperature and cook for 5 minutes, then put on simmer until corn is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Add black pepper, to taste. If corn seems too dry, add a little milk or water.

That sounds great!!! I can hear my arteries closing up as we speak.....

 

[Bigmista]

When you don't have fresh corn, get a couple of cans of corn (drained), some chopped onion and bell pepper and toss it in a hot skillet with half a stick of butter. Season it with some salt, black pepper, cayenne, garlic powder and sugar. Cook it till some of the kernels start to carmelize.

Dat's some good eatin' Cher!!!

What Mista said plus try adding alittle cumin. Gives it a little smokey background taste.

 

[butts a fire]

We do basically the same thing except after the bacon is browned up we add a stick of butter.

 

[CrimsonSmoke]

This is my way too. Only difference is I use my version of Cajun seasoning[which is very similar to Emeril's Essesence.
Why use butter when you can use bacon fat?:mrgreen:

BTW here is my recipe for a cajun seasoning mix.


Top Notch Rustic Seasoning Mix

-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Paprika
1/3 cup cayenne pepper
2/3 cup Black pepper -- coarsely crushed
3/4 cup Garlic Powder
1/2 cup Onion Powder
1 cup Coarse salt
3 tablespoons Oregano -- Dried, Flake
3 tablespoons Thyme -- Dried Flake

Put all ingredients in bowl of food processor. Pulse and run until well mixed. Store in glass jar(s) with tight-fitting lid.
Use as a meat rub or Sprinkle on to season any food where you want a hearty Cajun flavor. Use to cook with when preparing vegetables, Soups, Stews, etc.

Use about one tablespoon per pound as a meat rub. Great for Blackening Meat, fish, or Chicken.

This makes about 1 and 1/2 quarts of seasoning mix.

Ok - this looks like a (really great) variation of creamed corn - how do you serve it? As a side dish? Do you put it on something???

Many thanks for the responses to this plea...

I loosely followed The_Kapn's plan and it turned out exceptionally well. Ooos and aaaahs were heard throughout the meal.

Best,
