CORN MAQUECHOUX SALAD WITH CRAWFISH



Corn Maquechoux Salad With Crawfish image

I was going to cook up some traditional Cajun maquechoux one night, but instead decided to use its typical ingredients as the basis for a salad. It's a refreshing change from the usual corn preparations, and shrimp could be used in place of the crawfish but I don't believe it has quite the same flavor. Prep time includes allowing dressing to sit for awhile.

CAJUN CORN MAQUE CHOUX



Cajun Corn Maque Choux image

This classic creamy side dish takes advantage of both the sweetness and the starchiness of fresh corn. The trinity of onions, bell peppers and celery gives it a distinctive Cajun flavor, while the tomatoes add brightness. Although usually a side dish, it sometimes takes center stage with the addition of shrimp or crawfish.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 ears fresh corn
4 strips bacon, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 stalks celery, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 large onion, diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup milk
5 scallions, white and green parts, sliced (reserve the sliced green parts for garnish)
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and diced

  • 2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until the fat renders and the bacon is crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate and set aside. Add the butter to the skillet and when melted, add the celery, bell peppers and onions. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Add the milk, scallion whites, garlic, tomatoes and corn. Cook until thickened, 10 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from 3 medium ears of corn)
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon (or more) hot pepper sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Coarse kosher salt

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bell pepper; sauté until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.

Season to taste with coarse salt, pepper, and more hot pepper sauce, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh corn, crawfish, and bell peppers will give your salad the best flavor.
  • Cook the corn properly: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy, so be sure to cook it just until it is tender.
  • Season the salad well: A good Creole seasoning blend will add a lot of flavor to your salad. You can also add other spices, such as cayenne pepper or black pepper, to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
