Recipe - Corn Saute

Made a recipe I found in Fine Cooking today. Excellent stuff - a corn saute that pulled together in about 20 minutes out of leftovers/odd bits and cumulatively cost under $1.

Not so much a recipe as a process. No need to do mis-en-place; the previous ingredient cooks in just about the time it takes to chop the next one.

Butter - toss in pan and let brown while you slice up:
Bacon (in this case, a little bit of sliced ham). Throw in butter and let crisp while you dice:
4-5 medium mushrooms (I put in six; put in fewer if you use something big like portobello.

Let saute long enough for the mushrooms to start releasing their liquid. In the meantime, snap in half (to create a cutting base for each end) and slice the kernels off 1 ear corn.

Add corn and saute for about 4-5 minutes. While it's cooking, dice, grate or mince:

1 teaspoon(ish) of ginger. I have crystallized hanging around the fridge to chop. Add it.

Dust with liberal shake of garlic powder.

Stir up and let saute while you mince:

Smallish handful of parsley.

Right before it comes off the heat, give it a good squeeze of lemon juice.

And all hail the brilliant maniac who put the lyrics to Mystery Science Theater 3000 to Doctor Who pictures.

I heart dark meat. Like whoah.

I will have to try that. I don't normally cook meat with mustard. In fact, I've never but I'll have to try. That sounds delicious. Um. I have a steamed chicken suggestion for the corn sautee: mash green onion (scallion) with fresh ginger. Add rice wine, sesame oil, and sea salt. Rub it all over the bits and pieces, marinate, then toss in steamer. That's insanely good.

Oopsies! Sesame seeds! I forgot sesame seeds! I've never tried it with fish, but I imagine it'll go over well. I doubt it needs much marinating though.

British Columbia, Canada

That's the second time I've mistaken a Canadian for a Brit. I can't tell if this is an improvement from my usual way of thinking everyone on LJ lives in Illinois or not.
