Hard Eight Bbq Jalapeno Cream Corn Recipe
If you're a fan of barbecue, you know that the side dishes are just as important as the meat itself. And when it comes to classic BBQ sides, cream corn is a staple that is always a crowd-pleaser. But why settle for plain old cream corn when you can add a spicy twist with jalapenos?
Ingredients:
For this recipe, you will need:
- 6 ears of fresh corn
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Shuck the corn and remove the kernels from the cob. You can do this by using a sharp knife and slicing down the length of the cob, or by using a corn stripper.
2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped jalapeno pepper and sauté for 1-2 minutes until softened.
3. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to combine with the jalapenos and butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly browned.
4. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir to combine with the corn and jalapenos, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cream is heated through.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Serve the jalapeno cream corn hot as a side dish for your BBQ feast!
Tips:
- If you want your jalapeno cream corn to be even spicier, leave the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno when you chop it.
- Make sure to use fresh corn for the best flavor. Frozen corn can be substituted in a pinch, but it won't have the same sweetness and texture as fresh corn.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a large crowd. Just make sure to use a larger skillet or cook the corn in batches.
Conclusion:
Hard Eight BBQ jalapeno cream corn is a delicious and easy way to add some spice to your BBQ spread. With just a few simple ingredients and some fresh corn, you can create a side dish that will have your guests coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!).
