What can be more of a Louisiana dish than Corn Maque Choux?  It is summer in a bowl.  Fresh corn, bell peppers, and tomatoes all smoothened down together with a generous amount of cream.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp bacon grease or butter
  • 4 cups fresh corn (about 8 ears)

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Cajun Seasoning

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, melt bacon grease or butter over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the corn and cook until slightly charred, about 5 more minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Add the tomatoes, heavy cream, Cajun seasoning and stir to combine. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. Cook, uncovered for about 15 minutes until the corn is cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
  4. Stir in parsley and allow to rest for 5 minutes to thicken before serving.
