Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 large ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped (about 2 cups)
2 large (or 3 medium) ears sweet corn, kernels scraped off the cob (about 2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 bunch (6 to 8) scallions, trimmed and sliced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 large eggs
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Set a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes. Add the corn, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and jalapeno and saute for 2 more minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture thickens. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and let cool for several minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • In a large bowl, season the eggs with salt and pepper. Beat them lightly with a fork, only enough to mix the whites and the yolks. Add the cooled vegetables and cold butter and stir to combine.
  • Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and put it over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, swirling it all around and up the sides of the pan. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and stir gently with the back of a fork without touching the bottoms and sides of the pan. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata begins to set. Remove the cover and transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes.
  • Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, cut it into wedges, and serve immediately or cool and serve at room temperature.

Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large sweet red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8-1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the corn for about 2 minutes.
  • Add the red peppers, onions, and garlic, and saute for 4-6 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley, chili powder, salt and pepper and cook for another minute or two.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Add some heat: This recipe calls for poblano peppers, but you can use any type of chili pepper that you like. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the peppers before chopping.
  • Don't overcook the corn: Corn is best when it is cooked just until tender. Overcooking will make it tough and chewy.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Cilantro, parsley, and basil are all great additions to this dish. Add them just before serving for the best flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This dish is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Conclusion:

This spicy corn medley is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
