Cajun Corn Maque Choux

This dish is essentially corn cooked low and slow with Cajun seasonings, bell peppers, onions, jalapenos and some heavy whipping cream until it becomes this creamy, slightly spicy side dish.

Make this a day ahead. 

 

 

Ingredients: 

2 cups of fresh yellow corn (3 ears)

1 T unsalted butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

1 cup chopped red or green bell pepper ( or a mixture of both)

 1 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper 

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions:

Shuck corn by removing the husks and silk tassels. Cut kernels from the cob. Run a knife up and down cob to remove any residual corn "milk".

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté 5 minutes or until onion begins to turn translucent. Add bell pepper and jalapeno pepper and sauté for 3 minutes.

Add Cajun seasoning and salt and stir to combine.

Add corn and cook over medium heat until corn is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Add cream and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
