Macque Choux (pronounced “mock shoe”) is a Cajun corn and vegetable sauté. Here we eschew the traditional bacon fat or butter for heart-healthy olive oil. Try it at your next backyard barbecue.

Ingredients

Serves:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1/2 medium red bell pepper, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 ears corn, kernels cut from cob (see Tip)

1/4 cup water

1 medium tomato, chopped

3 scallions, sliced

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes more. Add corn kernels and water and cook, stirring, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in tomato, scallions, thyme, paprika, salt and cayenne.

Tip: To remove kernels, stand a cob on its stem end in a bowl and slice them off with a sharp, thin-bladed knife.
