::: BUMP- 'tis the season :::

This is very similar to Prejean's recipe, so not taking credit. However, some of the ingredients and portions I have changed to our liking. I expect to hear flack about the sweet frozen corn, but it's easy and the final product is delicious.


Ingredients
1 cup diced cooked boudin or andouille sausage
1 stick butter
1/2 cup minced white onion
1/2 cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
20 oz. sweet frozen corn
1 large jalapeno minced
1 Roma tomato diced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup whipping cream





In a saucepan, melt butter on low fire. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic; saute until onions are clear. Stir often.




Add whole-kernel corn, and stir well. Cook corn until tender.





Add jalapeno, tomato, sugar, salt, pepper, Old Bay and Worcestershire; and stir and simmer for 2 minutes.





Add whipping cream; stir and simmer for 2 additional minutes.





Boil it down until it looks about like this. The cream will eventually thicken so don't worry about it being too soupy if you stop here.





Remove it from the heat and pour about 20-25% of the mixture into a blender and puree.




Add back into the pot and stir, the corn should still be pretty hot at this point. Add in the cooked boudin/sausage and stir all together. Place into tupperware container overnight to let flavors fully absorb into corn.

I prefer mine with no cream and use corn off the cob. That way you can scrape all the corn milk out. I'm also a simple man and use corn, belle pepper, and onion and cook it with bacon fat. That said, yours look delicious. IWEI.

I also use bacon fat, but I do add a little cream if needed, if I get fairly dry corn. Sometimes the wife likes to add grilled chicken and eat it with pasta, so I can add cream late for a little sauce

this. the way my family makes maque choux, you really need to caramelize the corn in a iron skillet first. you can't get the required caramelization, and subsequently flavor, from canned or frozen corn. we've tried; it just doesn't work. you have to have fresh cut corn.

with that said, the OP's dish looks great. i'd eat it, for sure.

for the best flavor, for sure. But, I've fed gallons of this stuff at the camp made with a combo of canned whole kernal and creamed corn, and there has never been any waste or complaints. Add shrimp FTW.
