Any corny ideas?

house_cat — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 23:21:58 GMT

I'm making burgers tonight and i have a couple of small bags of frozen corn. I'm looking for a simple way to jazz up the corn, without adding a lot of extra calories.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I like sweet red peppers and broccoli mixed with corn. It'll be colorful.

Fried Corn

Heat 2 Tab of butter in a heavy skillet. Add corn and salt and pepper and fry on low heat. Add either 1 tsp of thyme or 1 tsp of sugar.

@Scooby Doo

Have you ever done this with frozen corn?

@Trix

I usually add diced red bell peppers and some cumin seeds. I've never added broccoli, but I like that idea.

Three great ideas. I feel a little foolish for having asked something so simple. I guess my thinkermabob wasn't working.

I just throw it together, don't use a recipe, but this sounds about right, maybe a little more acid! Ingredients

1 can, 14 ounces, black beans, rinsed and drained

2 cups frozen corn kernels

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, half a palm full

2 teaspoons hot sauce, just eyeball the amount (recommended: Tabasco)

1 lime, juiced

2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, eyeball it

Salt and pepper

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Let stand at least 15 minutes for corn to fully defrost and flavors to combine, then toss and serve. The corn will also place a quick-chill on this easy side-salad as it defrosts -- no need to refrigerate!

Glad you like it! I am absolutely hooked on the stuff. I make mine pretty tart and add parsley or CILANTO (which I am crazy about and a friend thought I'd poisoned him with it! LOL!!! You either LOVE or HATE it!)!

I found this recipe on Pinterest - haven't tred it yet, but sounds easy and has good reviews.

Google "Easy Addicting Corn"" (Budget Savvy Diva)

@house_cat, I'm late to the party, and you've already had your supper!

But, I wanted to share my fave way to serve corn.

I usually only do this with corn sliced off the cob, but frozen works too.

In a skillet, heat some butter, and add some finely diced jalapeno - as little or as much as you like. (IMO, the larger the jalapeno, the milder it is)

Add the corn, stir, throw on some Kosher salt, and some honey. I add about a Tablespoon or so, depending on the amount of corn.

Stir till corn is cooked the way you like, remove from heat and add lime juice (equal to, or more than the amount of honey) and chopped cilantro. Delish!

Serve w/ extra lime wedges.

I'm like @Sooner, and like it tart!
