Leftover corn on the cob?

[Kathi]

I grilled way to much corn last night. I know it's cheap, but I hate to waste it......I have about 10 ears that were done on the grill in aluminum foil. Any ideas?

[mojoeater]

Corn freezes well, even cooked. You can freeze them on the cob or cut the kernels off and put in a freezer safe ziploc bag.

Make a pasta with corn and gorgonzola and a little cream...comes from the Union Square Cafe cookbook. You could make a corn salad + there's a great recipe on this site under sides for corn with goat cheese, basil, and roasted red peppers.

[Fussy Foodie]

Slice the corn off the cob, mix with chopped avacado, cilantro and feta and toss with vinegar, lime or lemon juice, chili powder and salt and pepper.

Or make cornbread.

I haven't had them in years but my mother would scrape the corn of the cob and make corn fritters. I will have to remember that for next time I have leftover cobs..

[geminigirl]

yep, corn fritters with maple syrup, yummm

[Adrienne]

I have a very simple but delicious recipe for corn fritters; I believe this is a Venezuelan variety:

Cachapas

10 ears of corn
2 TB Sugar
a dash of corn oil
1 egg
2 tsp salt

Shuck the corn and throw these ingredients in a blender until smooth. Fry in very hot corn oil until brown on both sides. I make them fairly small (a couple of inches in diameter).

Garnish with sour cream and scallions.

OOH- that sounds good. Will have to try it next time we have leftovers. We have also used the leftover corn, onions, black beans, lime juice, cumin and a bit of olive oil for a quick salad- but next time I will add the avacado and cilantro, too.

[GeekVanessa]

Or go with southwest flavors and do avocado, black bean, cilantro, grilled protein (I like shrimp), green onion, with a lime-chipotle-olive oil vinagrette

Corn salsa, corn chowder, Bar-b-qued chicken salad, this could get a little Forrest Gump -like. I love to grill extra corn and chicken though for the salad the next day...just add black beans and cheddar cheese, and mix a little bbq sauce into some ranch dressing - que bueno!

scrape the corn kernels off the cobb and make corn fritters--I like them with maple syrup-

[Ellen]

Roasted corn salsa is great and will keep for a week or so. Just mix the corn with fresh tomatoes, sweet onions or scallions, jalapeno's, lime juice, s&p, and even black beans for a really hearty and tasty dip. Or make corn pudding or corn bread. I recently made a corn salad with goat cheese from a recipe on this web site that was pretty good.

[Quine]

If you have the time, slice the corn off, otherwise, freeze as is. Freezing lets you use it later, as an ingredient. And Dang...if you find a bag in mid winter, a simple defrost will send you back to summer nights!

[pfarrell]

corn chowder!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gio]

Corn pudding, chowder, souffle, casserole.

[rcallner]

I've been waiting for corn to appear on the market to try this East indian-looking recipe:

About 4 cups worth of kernels, Heat 3 T oil medium high and add 1/2 t mustard seeds, cover and wait for the seeds to finish popping. Lolwer the heat to medium and add 1 or 2 thinly sliced serrano chilies, stir 30 seconds. Stir in 1/4 t turmeric, add the corn, salt to taste. Toss, turn heat low and cover 'til corn is tender. If it was already cooked then just let it sit a minute. Add in 1 T minced parsley or cilantro.

Corn and salmon chowder. Succotash, although I prefer it with soybeans (edamame) rather than lima beans. With shrimp (or lobstah!) on a salad.

And one of my favorite comfort foods: Corn and eggs. (My dad used to make it.) Since the corn is already grilled, melt butter, brown some onion (or shallots), add the corn. Separately scramble the eggs with S & P and maybe some tarragon (water or even better some cream), toss the eggs in the hot pan and stir furiously -- they'll cook almost instantly with the hot onion and corn.

Sometimes I add garlic, and sometimes swiss cheese. I think I'll make some tomorrow...

I found the best potato salad for the summer-NO Mayo AND it uses FRESH CORN FROM THE COB!
Boil the small potatoes- either fingerlings or small red-do not boil, and if too large cut into 1/2 or 1/4
Let cool
Add fresh corn- peel from cob
Add some thinly sliced red onions
Cut cherry tomatoes or the grape ones in half
Add some fresh basil (julienned)
Salt (takes a little more than you would think)
Pepper
Lemon juice at least from 1 lemon sometimes 2 - I like it a bit tart so I sometimes even add some apple cider vinegar
Extra Virgin Olive Oil-EVOO
Mix all together- it gets better as it sits and flavors blend. I don't make my usual MAYO styled pot salad anymore.

[Kathi]

Wow! Thanks for all the great suggestions! I am going to have to cook more corn:)
Have a great Fourth!

[peachblossom]

Cream of corn is really good

[hannaone]

Trim it from the cob, mash some of it, add the mashed + some whole to your pancake batter, corn bread, or biscuit mix.
Add to omelet, soups, stews.
Goes well with many other veggies in salad.

[Richard 16]

Hmmm... I'll bet it would be great in an okonomiyai!

[bethd127]

whatever you do make cornwater from the cobbs. Great addition to stock for a corn/clam/shrimp type chowder.

[orangewasabi]

by now I would have eaten them cold. as snacks.
loooove corn on the cob as a cold snack

[OliveBelle]

Cut the kernels off the cobs and mix with a small bit of garlic, diced tomatoe (really just a bit), salt, pepper and some pumpkin seed oil. Makes a great summer salad.
