Foodie Friday: Spotlight on Corn

 

{ Via: Williams Sonoma }

This post is a personal request of "Mr. Shop This." We haven't had any sweet corn yet this Summer. It's about time!  Here's some great dishes to add to your summer recipe repertoire.


Grilled Romaine and Corn Salad with Pickled Cherries and Shallots
Corn has never looked more appealing! And if you have not tried grilling romaine, you are in for a treat. Good looking, too!

Bacon Wrapped Corn On The Cob
Whoa! Why haven't I ever thought of this? It's said to be sweet, savory, salty, and delicious. You prepare this recipe in the oven.

Caramelized Corn and Tomato
 Tarte Tatin
This has to be one of the prettiest dishes I have ever seen! It's just perfect as a party appetizer. That crust? It's puff pastry.

Layered Southwestern Cornbread Salad
This is the salad that you make for company. The layers of colors and flavors makes this one 
standout dish!

Mexican Street Corn Dip
Be forewarned. This dip is said to be highly addictive. The perfect thing to go with an ice cold cerveza!

Tomato & Corn Pizza
What a pretty pie! It features the best of summer's harvest. Makes for a great appetizer.

Corn, Cheddar & Scallion Strata
Made with whole-wheat sourdough bread, lots of sweet summer corn, sharp cheddar cheese and scallions. How could this be anything but wonderful?
Smitten Kitchen

Summer Skillet Gnocchi
Here's a summer hug in a bowl! And don't panic. You use store bought gnocchi. There's also heavy cream, lots of parm, grilled corn, and shittake mushrooms. Oh Yum!
How Sweet Eats

JalapeƱo Cheddar Corn Fritters with Chipotle Aioli
My mother made corn fritters back in the day. I remember loving them. These make for a simple summer appetizer. That Aiolo with chipotle honey 
sounds fabulous!

The Best Grilled Corn With Four Toppings
Life is too darn short to serve plain corn on the cob. This recipe gives you a step by step tutorial on grilling corn. The toppings that will put your corn over the top are: Blue Cheese Butter With Chives, Maple Bourbon Butter, Spicy corn with Cotija cheese. Add a sprinkling of chopped bacon, blue cheese and herbs for the extra.

Light and Fresh Slow Cooker Corn Chowder
One of The Kitchn's most popular recipes ever. It calls for frozen corn, but I would use fresh. One of my favorite soups.

Shrimp and Corn Fritters
The addition of shrimp to this corn fritter makes it special. These are sweet and creamy on the inside and super crunchy on the outside. Perfect!

Creamy Polenta With Pesto, Corn, & Blistered Tomatoes
A platter of this recipe is a sight to behold! It is an easy dish that makes a great vegetarian main course, or a summer side for any cookout.

Sweet Corn Ice Cream With Salted Caramel Swirl & Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
You'll need an ice cream maker for this recipe. By the looks of the decadent desert, it might be worth getting one. Macy's has them on sale. 

Grilled Corn Avocado Salad 
Gluten Free
Anything with Avocado gets my vote. Add feta cheese, and it is one special salad.
