Spicy Fried Corn With Bacon and Chipotle image

This fiery corn fry-up is stoked with enough bacon and chipotle to prod summer corn's gentle nature into something with a lingering, piquant bite.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ears corn, shucked
1/4 pound bacon (5 slices), roughly chopped
1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce, seeded if desired, and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice corn kernels off cob. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. If pan looks very greasy, spoon off some bacon fat if desired.
  • Stir corn into skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in chipotle and salt. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, and simmering until thickened. Stir in cilantro and serve, topped with a dollop of sour cream if you like.

I thought the corn was a little dry. I might try adding some butter or oil next time.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll probably use less chipotle next time.

I wasn't sure how the chipotle would taste with the corn and bacon, but it was delicious! It added a nice depth of flavor.

This recipe was a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet corn, smoky bacon, and spicy chipotle is irresistible. I'll definitely be making it again.
