Sweet Gingered Corn Recipes

STIR-FRIED CORN WITH CHILLI, GINGER, GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• One of the things I love to do is to stir-fry the corn kernels in a hot wok or frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of chopped ginger, a teaspoon of chopped chilli, a handful of chopped fresh parsley and a couple of tablespoons of low-salt soy sauce. You can vary the flavours with different herbs, but this is a good base to start with.

HONEY GINGERED CORN EN PAPILLOTE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a simmer and add the loose tea. Allow to steep for a few minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the reserved corn husks. Allow the husks to soak in the heated water for 5 minutes. Remove to a sheet tray to cool slightly.
• In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat, saute the shallot, garlic and ginger with the oil and sweat down until the shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Transfer this mixture to a medium bowl and add the creme fraiche, honey, sambal, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Add to the corn in the bowl and mix well.
• Preheat your desired cooking location to medium-high heat: clam bake, pizza oven or grill.
• Line a sheet tray with 1 sheet foil and top with the soaked corn husks. Top the husks with the corn mixture and top the corn with more corn husks. Wrap tightly en papillote with foil. Wrap the foil pouch with 2 more sheets foil to seal, then transfer to your desired cooking location: clam bake, pizza oven or grill.
• Cook for 20 minutes over medium-high heat, then let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and carefully cut open with scissors. Garnish with the parsley and serve.

SWEET GINGERED CORN

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over a medium flame.
• Add the spices and the ginger and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Add the tomatoes and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes, or until most of the liquid from the tomatoes evaporates.
• Add the maple syrup and corn and return to a simmer. Cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for 5 minutes, or until corn is heated through.
• Add the scallions and mix.
• Serve immediately.
