CAJUN - CREOLE MAQUECHOUX
Pronounced "mock shoe", this is a dish that the Cajuns got from the Native American tribes that populated southwest Louisiana. It's wonderful, and you vary the recipe by adding chicken, or even crawfish tails. But I like it just like this.

Steps:
- Shuck the corn and remove all of the cornsilk.
- Hold each cob over a bowl and cut the kernels away in layers (don't cut off whole kernels), then scrape the knife along the cob to get all of the"milk" out of it.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions, bell peppers, celery and tomatoes and saute until the onions are transparent, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in the salt and peppers, then add the corn and milk from the cobs, the sugar and evaporated milk and stir well.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook until the corn is tender, about 10-15 more minutes.
- Adjust seasonings to taste.

[email protected]I followed the recipe exactly, but my maque choux turned out too watery. I think I may have added too much liquid.
