CORN WITH SQUASH



Corn With Squash image

Posted for Zaar World Tour 2005. My BF made this dish tonight, with the freshest zucchini and corn on the cob, it was delightful. He reduced the oil from 4 tablespoons to 1, and sprinkled liberally with pepper and omitted the parsley. Simple preparation, outstanding results. From a special issue of Saveur, the best of Tex-Mex Cooking.

CORN AND CHILE SUCCOTASH



Corn and Chile Succotash image

This recipe could hardly be easier. It doesn't need to be watched super carefully because you actually want it to burn a little bit because there is nothing tastier than charred corn. This dish is incredibly versatile and can be served as a side dish or incorporated into a taco or Mexican salad dish or you can chop some avocado and tomatoes and make an easy "grilled" corn salsa.

1 cup chopped onion (sweet onion or red onion)
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried mexican cilantro

Steps:

  • In a large skillet (that you have a lid for), heat oil over medium-high heat.

  • Pour frozen corn into skillet. Stir as much as possible and then cover.

CORN WITH SQUASH

This is a delicious side dish,especiallly for summer when you can get corn fresh off the cob. But frozen corn makes it possible to have this just anytime. You will want to use young tender summer squash. Even winter squash will work if it is young and tender. Recipe is from Saveur magazine. Elena Areliano contributed the recipe and she uses a squash known as Mexican squash (calabaza mexicana). It is a round green summer squash.

SQUASH AND SWEET CORN WITH CORIANDER



Squash And Sweet Corn With Coriander image

Provided by Leslie Land

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 40m

Yield Two main-dish servings; four to six side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 pounds small (4- to 7-inch by 1-inch) yellow crookneck squash, cut in thin rounds, about 5 cups prepared
4 or 5 ears tender corn, enough to make at least 3 1/2 cups prepared
1/4 cup heavy cream or creme fraiche, not ultrapasteurized
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh coriander
Tiny pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Put a half cup of water in a large, heavy, non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the squash, cover the pan, lower heat to low-medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is more or less falling apart and all the water has cooked away, about 20 minutes. If necessary, uncover the pan and raise the heat near the end of the cooking so there is no free water.
  • While the squash is cooking, cut the corn kernels from the cobs, keeping the knife perpendicular so only the tips are removed. Then scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to get all the juice and kernel hearts.
  • When the squash is ready, stir in the corn and cream. Cook, stirring often, for about three minutes, just long enough to heat everything through. Add the coriander, taste and add the merest smidgen of salt if you think it's necessary. Serve at once.
