Cajun - Creole Maquechoux image

Pronounced "mock shoe", this is a dish that the Cajuns got from the Native American tribes that populated southwest Louisiana. It's wonderful, and you vary the recipe by adding chicken, or even crawfish tails. But I like it just like this.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ears fresh sweet corn
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups onions, finely chopped
1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, finely chopped
3 celery ribs, finely chopped
3 large ripe tomatoes, peeled,seeded and roughly chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
4 tablespoons sugar
1 cup evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Shuck the corn and remove all of the cornsilk.
  • Hold each cob over a bowl and cut the kernels away in layers (don't cut off whole kernels), then scrape the knife along the cob to get all of the"milk" out of it.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the onions, bell peppers, celery and tomatoes and saute until the onions are transparent, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in the salt and peppers, then add the corn and milk from the cobs, the sugar and evaporated milk and stir well.
  • Reduce heat to medium and cook until the corn is tender, about 10-15 more minutes.
  • Adjust seasonings to taste.
