6 sweetcorn recipe ideas to try today! 🌽
Whether you've got fresh corn leftover, or even tinned sweetcorn you want to use up, there's endless ways to enjoy these golden vegetables! And here to help you get creative is our amazing guest ODDBOX chef Storm (@whatstormeats), with these delicious recipe ideas:
1) ROAST
Slather in a paprika and garlic butter and roasted under a hot grill before grating on lashings of salty hard parmesan (pecorino or manchego works really well too!). Roasting yields a wonderful nuttiness to the corn which you'll absolutely love.
2) BREAD
The perfect accompaniment to a veggie chilli; packed with flavour with spicy jalapeños and tangy cheese. Simply combine butter, cornmeal, flour, corn kernels, baking powder and eggs and bake in a cast iron skillet until golden. Serve hot out of the oven!
3) CHOWDER
Wonderfully comforting and perfect for a cold day; it doesn't require too many ingredients so all you need is potatoes and corn! Fry off a shallot in a little butter and add peeling potatoes. Fill up with vegetable stock, milk and season well. At this point you can get experimental! Add some Mexican spices, fresh herbs, or even some extra chilli!
4) FRITTERS
Deliciously crispy sweetcorn fritters made with fresh corn kernels, kimchi, spring onion mixed with flour, an egg and a little sea salt. Spoon into a non-stick pan and serve with a poached egg - a great little brunch recipe! Alternatively, mix a little red curry paste into the mixture instead of kimchi and deep fry for a wonderful addition to a Thai dinner.
5) RAVIOLI
Sweetcorn is a fabulous filling for delicate little pasta parcels; blend ricotta, grated Italian cheese, sweetcorn kernels and an egg and pipe onto homemade egg pasta sheets. Cook in salted boiling water and swirl the little parcels in a brown butter and sage sauce .Finish with toasted pine nuts and plenty of cracked black pepper.
6) TACOS
Sweetcorn is used a lot in South American cuisine so it works perfectly with spices such as cumin and paprika. Pack spicy Sweetcorn into homemade tacos with creamy black beans, fresh avocado, zesty coriander and top with some pink pickled onions.
