Corn And Tomato Saute Recipes

SKILLET-FRIED CORN AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil, then the garlic. Saute until the garlic is lightly browned. Add the chiles and saute briefly to release their character. Add the corn and cook briskly, stirring often, until partially cooked, about 3 minutes. Add the damn hot peppers then simmer, stirring, until the corn is just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, whisk in the butter, and stir in the chives. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot add the bell peppers, jalapenos, and gray salt. Cook over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes or until the peppers are partially tender. Stir from the bottom from time to time, adjusting the heat as necessary so that they don't brown. There will still be some liquid left in the pot.
• Add the tomatoes, lower the heat to simmer and continue to cook for about 30 minutes to reduce the tomato juice and finish cooking the peppers. Add additional salt if needed. Serve warm or room temperature.

SAUTEED FRESH CORN

Steps:

• Remove the husks and the silk from the corn and cut the kernels off as close to the husk as possible without removing any of the husk. You should have about 7 cups of kernels.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy saute pan. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and saute uncovered on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the starchiness in the corn is gone. Taste, for salt and pepper, and serve.

CORN WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape the cobs to release the corn milk into the bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and corn milk, 1 tablespoon water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the kernels are tender,3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chives, basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; toss to combine.

PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to render fat; add onion and cook until just softened, about 5 minutes, then add corn. Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
• Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.

OKRA, CORN AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir to release some of the juices, then add the onion and okra. Fry until tender and browned, stirring constantly. Be careful, as this tends to brown quickly.
• Pour in the tomatoes, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes. Mix in the corn, and simmer for another 10 minutes. Season with file powder, salt and pepper, and serve.

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.

ZUCCHINI, CORN & TOMATO SAUTE

Steps:

• Take first 4 ingredients and saute with the olive oil. Saute for about 10 minutes, then cover and continue to cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or more (depending if you want the zucchini crisp or soft and tender). Add desired salt and pepper to seasoning to taste. Spoon butter and sprinkle cheese over the veggie mixture. Mix to melt cheese and serve!
