Maque Choux (Fried Corn With Green Peppers) Recipe by Tasty image

If you're craving summer soul food or a Juneteenth side dish, look no further. This creamy corn and pepper dish is from Toni Tipton-Martin's award-winning cookbook, Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking. She credits this recipe to Monique Wells, a Texas transplant living in Paris, who helped "open the eyes of elite French cooks to the flavors of the American South and Southwest."

I've tried many Maque Choux recipes over the years, but this one is by far the best. The addition of green peppers gives it a nice depth of flavor, and the frying process gives the corn a delicious caramelized crust. Highly recommend!
