(I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT) CREAMED CORN

Categories     side-dish

Time 13m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 ears corn, husked
2 tablespoons butter, optional
1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Using a sharp paring knife, start at the top of the cob and score the middle of each row of kernels. The object here is to puncture the individual casings so that it is easier to force out the contents (as described in step 2). The depth of the incision, as well as your ability to slice a straight line, is of no consequence.
  • Grab your largest pot and a common dinner knife. Hold the cob inside the pot. Starting at the top of the cob, run the backside of the blade down the cob, using pressure to force out the meat and milk from the casings. Be forewarned, this is a messy job (hence the pot) that requires a healthy amount of muscle power. If possible, do this outdoors.
  • Discard the cobs and transfer the corn mash to a smaller pot. If you decide to add butter and/or chipotle do it here. Warm over a medium heat for a few watchful minutes, stirring frequently. If you warm corn for too long, or over too high a temperature, the natural liquids will evaporate and the corn will become gooey.
  • Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

REAL POPCORN

Categories     dinner, lunch, quick

Time 10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
1/2 cup popping corn
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, optional
Salt

Steps:

  • Put the oil in the bottom of a large, deep saucepan (6 quarts or so) with a cover; turn the heat to medium. Add 3 kernels of corn and cover.
  • When the kernels pop, remove the cover and add the remaining corn. Cover and shake the pot, holding the lid on as you do so. Cook, shaking the pot occasionally, until there are a few seconds between popping sounds (a few unpopped kernels are inevitable). Meanwhile, melt the butter (here's where the microwave comes in handy) if you're using it.
  • Turn the popcorn into a large bowl; drizzle with the butter and sprinkle with salt; toss and serve.

Tips:

  • Start with the right popcorn kernels. Mushroom popcorn kernels are the best choice for this recipe because they expand into large, fluffy pieces.
  • Use a large pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will help to keep the popcorn from burning and will allow the steam to build up, which will help to cook the popcorn evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. If you add too many kernels, they won't have enough room to pop properly and you'll end up with a lot of unpopped kernels.
  • Keep the heat on medium-high. This will help to prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Shake the pot constantly. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and will prevent the popcorn from burning.
  • Listen for the popping sounds to slow down. Once the popping sounds start to slow down to about 2-3 seconds between pops, it's time to remove the pot from the heat.
  • Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and season it with your favorite toppings. You can use butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasoning that you like.

Conclusion:

This recipe for "I Can't Believe It's Not Real Popcorn" is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy popcorn. It's made with whole grain popcorn kernels and seasoned with simple, healthy ingredients. It's a great snack for movie night, party, or any other occasion.
