Herb Tossed Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-4 1/2-inch metal loaf pan and set aside.
• Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, granulated garlic and salt in a large bowl and set aside. Place the corn in a small bowl, then take 1 tablespoon of the cornbread mixture and sprinkle it over the corn; toss to combine. Sift out any excess powder from the corn and set aside.
• Whisk together the butter, buttermilk and eggs in a medium bowl.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cornmeal mixture and mix until smooth, then fold in the scallions, basil, dill and corn. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown and the center bounces back when lightly pressed with a finger, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely, then slide a knife around the edges and invert the bread onto a plate.

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 inches water (do not salt water) to a boil in pot, then add corn. Cook corn (water may not cover it), covered with lid, turning occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a large platter.
• While corn cooks, melt butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• When corn is just cool enough to handle, cut kernels off cobs in long, wide strokes with a large heavy knife, leaving kernels in clusters. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Add butter mixture and cilantro to corn, stirring gently to keep kernel clusters intact. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a medium bowl. Using the back of the knife, scrape the cobs to release the corn milk into the bowl.
• Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the corn and corn milk, 1 tablespoon water, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook until the kernels are tender,3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the chives, basil and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter; toss to combine.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with foil.
• In a large bowl combine olive oil, oregano (or thyme), rosemary, garlic, and salt and pepper; mix until well blended.
• Add the prepared onion, potatoes, bell pepper, mushrooms, and zucchini to the seasoned oil mixture.
• Toss with a slotted spoon until all vegetables are well coated.
• Place seasoned vegetables in the foil-lined baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
• Remove baking dish from oven and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top of the roasted vegetables.
• Return baking dish to oven and roast for 5 more minutes (or until the cheese just begins to melt).

Steps:

• Husk the corn and rub off the silk with a lightly moistened towel. Holding one ear upright at a time, cut off the kernels in ribbons and put them in a bowl. Separate the kernels by rubbing them with your fingers.
• Pour the oil into a large, preferably nonstick, lidded pan or wok and set over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, put in the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the kalonji seeds. Stir once, then add the ginger and chilies. Stir for 30 seconds, put in the corn, cilantro, mint, scallions, and dill, and toss well to mix. Add 4 tablespoons of water, the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss again to mix and cover. When steam begins to escape from under the lid, reduce the heat to low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Toss again and taste for a balance of seasonings, making any adjustments you think necessary. If you like, stir in the butter just before serving.

Steps:

• Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Spread each ear of corn with 1 tablespoon of herb butter.
• Wrap each ear in foil.
• Roast corn on barbeque or broil 4 inches from heat 30 min or till kernels are tender.
• Unwrap, detach husks and spread with remaining butter.
