John Egertons Roasted Corn Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN SAUTEED CORN

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in tomato, lime juice, salt and cumin. Cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro.

EASIEST CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat corn in the microwave until cooked through and tender, about 3 1/2 minutes.
• Hold the tapered end of the corn with a towel over a cutting board. Cut the bottom 1-inch off of the thick end of the cob. Squeeze tapered end of corn cob out of husk and silk.
• Spread butter over corn and season with salt.

RUTH'S CHRIS STEAAKHOUSE CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Over medium heat melt the butter with the bacon fat. Add the onion, fennel and jalapeño and cook about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the corn and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Add cream cheese and heavy cream and simmer until a heavy consistency is achieved (approx 10 minutes). Stir frequently. Once finished place in a serving dish and garnish with sliced green onions.
• Note:I posted the recipe exactly as Ruth's Chris listed it but I often add a touch more cream cheese and on occasion have left out the jalapeno if I didnt have it on hand but no matter what do not omit the fennel bulb. It really makes this recipe and will not disappoint! Again -- this is amazing with fresh corn cut off the cob. Hint: since you use so little of the fennel bulb I have chopped up the rest and frozen it for future use and it works out perfectly.

JOHN EGERTON'S ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Pull back shucks from each ear of corn and remove silks. Close shucks over the grain and secure firmly with a wire twist-tie. Immerse corn in cold water several minutes, letting shucks get thoroughly soaked.
• Shake off excess water and bury corn in the hot ashes and coals of a fireplace, a charcoal grill or a campfire and leave there about 1 hour, rotating 3 or 4 times to assure even distribution of heat. Remove and test one ear for doneness. When kernels are tender, remove shucks; apply butter and salt.
