Corn Maque Choux (Fried Corn)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 lb corn kernel (cut from the cob or frozen and thawed)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne
- In the skillet, heat the butter over medium low heat until melted.
- Add the onion and saute until wilted but not brown.
- Add the bell peppers and the corn and stir to coat everything with butter, sprinkle with some salt, pepper, and cayenne, and continue cooking over med-low heat, stirring frequently, until all liquid (if any) completely evaporates, the vegetables start to take on a slight caramalization and the whole room smells really, really good.
- (This should take about 20 minutes).
- Taste, adjust the seasonings if you need to, and serve.
- Note: I say to use a cast iron skillet because, as with cornbread, I believe this dish suffers in flavor if it is not cooked in one.
- However, if you don't have one, you can use another skillet- just know that it would be much better cooked in a cast iron skillet.
