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.
