Corn recipes

[japple]

Does anyone have any recipes to inspire me to use with all of those bags of corn from my garden last year. It's a pretty bland vegetable in my opnion, kind of milky since I double-scraped it off the cob. How can I jazz it up?

1. What does double-srcape mean

I freeze corn also and I cut if off of the cob but I am not sure what double scraped means. I use my frozen corn in vegetable soups. I also make scalloped corn. I think everyone on my mom's side of the family has made it forever. I despise creamed corn and use my frozen corn, an egg or two, crackers and either milk or half and half. You bake it at 325 for at least 30 minutes.

2. Double-scraped or double-cut corn is when you cut it off the cob, then scrape

the backside of the knife blade down the ears to extract the part that is left in the kernels. My mother did it that way. I find that when I've added it to vegatable soup, it turns the soup milky, which I don't like at all. Will have to try scalloped corn. Thank you.

I learned something. I have never double scraped corn.

5. Corn chowder, corn pudding, corn souffle, scalloped corn,Mexican style corn with peppers and onions.

Corn salsa, corn mixed into the filling of enchiladas.

Anything sound interesting to you, and I'll give you a recipe or several.

4. I would probably use some of it to make cornbread or corn muffins.

I like real bits of corn in both and its great with soups and chili.

7. Not familiar with the double-scrape, but I like to make corn salsa...

lime juice, diced red onion, a little diced jalapeno, mix it up so the lime juice can draw out the flavors. Then dice some tomato and cut up some cilantro and mix it all up with the corn.

When I have made it, I grilled the corn on the cob first, but I imagine it would still work if not grilled. Or you could quickly sautee it on high to bring out the sugars before mixing it in.

8. Along with the suggestions above, I like something I call corn patties.

Works well for older corn that's been in the freezer.

Par boiled corn, mashed a good bit. Drained, then mashed a bit more with an egg, some bread crumbs, lime and spices. I like cumin, paprika and some cinnamon. Formed into small patties and set aside in the fridge.

To cook - Coated well with bread crumbs and pan fried in olive oil. Great side for fish or a bean chili.

10. Deep fry it and you've got corn fritters. They're good with real maple syrup.

11. oh yeah

My family loves corn fritters. I rarely make them, usually only if we are at the coast and have a special fish dinner. They are also great with a ham supper.

9. Put it in chili or make a cold corn and bean salsa.

On Edit: Damn. I forgot the obvious - make a corn chowder with a lot of freshly cracked black pepper, and "just enough" sage, and basil. I love looking at old recipe books - "A ball as big as your fist", "Enough flour", "Some sugar". That's really the way to cook.

12. Use some in Corn Bread

I always throw some "fresh" corn in the mix with some jalapeños
