Categories     side-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 2 quarts, about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices thick-cut bacon, diced
1 large red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
4 ears of corn, kernels and milk scraped from cobs (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups cooked pinto beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked navy or cannellini beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups cooked black beans, drained (cooked until just tender)*
2 cups chicken stock or canned low-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, saute the bacon until very crispy and all of the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-lined plate to drain. Set aside. Remove all but 1/4 cup of the bacon drippings from the pan and save for another use. To the hot bacon drippings add the onion and cook until lightly caramelized, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Add the corn, thyme, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the beans, remaining teaspoon of salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to a boil, and reduce the heat to a brisk simmer. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is almost completely reduced, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the green onions, stir to combine, then cover and remove from the heat. Let sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to marry. Reheat slowly, if necessary, before serving.

Provided by Anita Harris

Categories     Corn

Time 3h30m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups frozen peas, thawed
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can white corn or 1 (15 1/4 ounce) can white shoepeg corn, drained
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained & chopped
1 (4 ounce) jar diced pimentos, drained
8 green onions, thinly sliced
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a large serving bowl, combine the first 8 ingredients.
  • In a small bowl, combine vinegar, sugar, oil, salt and pepper; whisk until sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour over corn mixture; mix well.
  • Cover and chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Stir just before serving; serve with a slotted spoon.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh corn when it's in season. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen corn kernels can be used as a substitute.
  • Choose the right type of corn: There are many different types of corn available, each with its own unique flavor and texture. For this salad, a sweet corn variety is best.
  • Cook the corn properly: To ensure that the corn is cooked evenly and has a slight crunch, boil it for 4-5 minutes, or until it is tender but still slightly firm.
  • Cool the corn quickly: After boiling the corn, immediately transfer it to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve its flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This salad is a great opportunity to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A simple vinaigrette is all that is needed to dress this salad. Too much dressing will overwhelm the flavors of the vegetables.

Conclusion:

Corn Medley Salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give Corn Medley Salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
