Spicy Corn off the Cob


Since we are in the mist of a brutal heat wave - day 6 of temps in the 90's!  With no relief in sight until Sunday, and temps expected to reach 99oF tomorrow (37.22 celsius). I've been trying to come up with easy side dishes and I came up with this creation.

We had some corn from the farm and I didn't want to stand over a hot grill roasting corn - I do not boil corn.  So I decided to take the corn off the cob and mix it up with a can of Rotel.  It was an easy and tasty side dish!  The bonus - my husband said this was a keeper!


Ingredients
1 dozen ears of corn
1 can of Rotel
Drizzle of olive oil
Pat of butter or margarine
Sea salt & fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions
Drizzle olive oil in a large skillet
Take the corn off the cob right over the skillet
Add a can of Rotel
Give a twist of sea salt & fresh ground pepper
Cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes
Finish with a pat of butter

Enjoy!

P.S.  Thank you for all your painting suggestions!  It's going to take me a while, but I promise I'll post when complete!

  1. We're basking in high temperatures too ... but not as hot as yours. We're hitting round about 30 / 32 which is very high for us! I love it, but it's causing some problems around the country, like grass fires and melting tarmac. Your corn dish looks tasty.

  3. You don't boil corn? Do you steam it? This recipe sounds pretty tasty, though with the temps, I'll wait for a day when I need some warmth in my toes. Stay cool!

  9. Just steamed some corn yesterday, scraped it off the cob, mixed it with edamame and cream and had some very fine succotash.

  11. Sounds delicious! It's been too hot for me to do any cooking this week, so we've been eating lots of salads, raw vegetables, and fruit.

  22. I'm actually rather grateful that our heatwave has ended. It's hard to do much when it's so warm. My boys love corn and I reckon they would enjoy it served this way for sure.

  24. Love this recipe! Perfect for fresh corn, it looks delicious! Funny with the weather, it has been the coolest summer here I can remember in years, almost like fall some days. Weird! From heat to a/c and back. Have a great rest of the summer!
