Ingredients

  • sweet corn and as much as I’ll eat of it between now and the first frost, I am
  • no fan of corn on the cob. I find it inelegant to eat, to say the very
  • least. Better by far is to take it off
  • the cob. Combine with it some red pepper, red onion and butter and you end up
  • with Ina Garten’s fantastic confetti corn which is the first thing I make when
  • the first fresh corn hits the farm stand. (See http://www.chewingthefat.us.com/2014/09/ina-gartens-ode-to-marcella-hazan.html
  • . This year, at the Comfort Family farm
  • stand down the hill from us, not only was there glorious early corn but sitting
  • next to it were quarts of snap peas. I
  • brought them both home and breathed new life into Ina’s Confetti corn
  • recipe. And the biggest change was it
  • was just as good cold as it was warm.
  • A really simple
  • change made it possible to enjoy the abundance of crunchy snap peas, red
  • peppers and bicolor corn once piping hot and next, crisp and cool. Ina’s confetti corn swims in butter-y
  • goodness. Since it’s a stand-in for corn
  • on the cob, which is almost inevitably rolled in butter before it’s eaten, this
  • only makes sense. However, if you swap out the butter for extra virgin olive
  • oil, you have something the next day that’s a fine cold salad. It is so simple to make, I hope you’ll rely
  • on it next time corn beckons to you. The
  • hardest part about it is likely the shucking of the corn, something you can
  • likely delegate to any non-cook hanging out in your kitchen. Getting the kernels off the cob is best
  • achieved by using a Bundt Pan. You hold the cob over the center of the pan, and
  • slice from there. The corn will fall into the pan and not all over your
  • countertop. Here is the recipe:
