BEST NEW ENGLAND CORN CHOWDA (CHOWDER)



Best New England Corn Chowda (Chowder) image

This is how my mother made her chowder for years, and it was always greeted with pleasure and delight from anyone partaking in in. Even my Aunt who has always hated Corn Chowder loved this recipe. You can use fresh corn if you prefer, but may want to add it in with the potatoes to cook, and if you must use canned corn, watch the salt. Canned corn will change the flavor greatly.

Provided by Jennifer Michele

Categories     Chowders

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2-1 lb bacon (diced)
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
2 cups cubed white potatoes
2 cups frozen corn
2 cups light cream

Steps:

  • Fry bacon until crisp.
  • Remove from pan with a slotted spoon and drain; set aside.
  • In a 4-quart saucepan or pot, heat 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat and add chopped onion.
  • Cook over medium heat until onion is translucent.
  • Add broth and cubed potatoes to pan (add some salt if you are using a less salty broth).
  • Bring to a simmer, cover and allow to cook for about 10 minutes (this is for 1 inch cubes of potatoes).
  • Stir in corn and heat through.
  • Add cream and heat through again.
  • If you prefer a thicker chowda, mix 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour with 1/2 cup of milk and shake until dissolved.
  • Add a little at a time while the chowda is simmering until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Serve with crumbled bacon on top, a good dose of freshly ground pepper, and for those of you who want true authenticity, add a dollop of butter to the top of the steaming bowl.

The Best Fresh Corn Fritters image

These are delightful explosions of taste, can be served with charred tomato salsa as an appie, as a side dish or even maple syrup for breakfast. I am including the charred tomato salsa but they are great all on their own too.

Provided by MarraMamba

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h

Yield 26 small fritters

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 1/2 ounces all-purpose flour
1/4 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon table salt, more for sprinkling
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 cup fresh corn kernels, coarsely chopped (from about 1 large or 2 small ears of corn)
1 -1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 lb fresh ripe tomatoes (about 3 medium)
1 unpeeled garlic clove
1/2 medium chipotle from a can chipotle chile in adobo
kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Salsa:.
  • Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high. Arrange the tomatoes and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet and broil until the tomatoes are charred on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn the tomatoes and garlic and char on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Let cool. Peel the tomatoes and garlic, discarding the skins and saving any juices that are released.
  • In a blender, briefly purée the tomatoes and their juices, the garlic, chipotle chile, and 1/2 teaspoons salt-it needn't be perfectly smooth.
  • In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When a drop of the puréed tomato mixture sizzles when added, pour in the remaining purée. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Adjust the heat to an active simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until reduced to a scant cup and thickened to a sauce consistency, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Stir in the cilantro and the lime juice. Season to taste with salt. Serve at room temperature.
  • Fritters:.
  • In a medium bowl, stir the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the milk, sour cream, and eggs. With a rubber spatula, gently stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until just blended. Stir in the corn. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 200°F.
  • Pour the oil into a small, heavy frying pan, preferably cast iron, to a depth of 1/2 inch. Heat over medium heat until it's hot enough that a small dollop of batter sizzles when added. With a spring-lever miniature ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop up a ball of the batter and gently release it into the hot oil. Add three or four more balls of batter to the hot oil, taking care not to crowd the pan. Reduce the heat to medium low so that the fritters cook gently. When golden brown on the bottom and barely cooked around the top edge, after 1 to 2 minutes, use a slotted spatula to turn the fritters and cook until golden on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Transfer the fritters to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, sprinkle generously with salt, and keep warm in the oven. Continue to cook the remaining batter in small batches, adding more oil as needed to maintain the 1/2-inch depth. Serve right away with the salsa.

THE BEST CORN BREAD



The Best Corn Bread image

Provided by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 25m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 teaspoons bacon grease
1 small egg, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 3/4 cups stone- or water-ground yellow cornmeal

Steps:

  • Spread bacon grease around in a 10-inch, well-seasoned, cast-iron skillet and put the skillet in the oven. Turn the oven to 450 degrees and leave it to heat while you prepare the corn bread.
  • Combine the egg and buttermilk in a bowl, beating the egg slightly with a fork. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir to mix well.
  • Add enough cornmeal to make a thin batter, like pancake batter. Every cornmeal is different, but one and three quarters cups, more or less, should be enough. As soon as the oven reaches 450 degrees and the bacon grease is just at the point of smoking, pour the batter into the pan all at once and return immediately to the oven. Bake until the top just begins to brown, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from oven, turn onto a plate and serve immediately with plenty of butter.
