This week’s recipe is Macque Choux. You will need:
12 ears fresh corn
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium-size green pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Cut off tips of corn kernels into a bowl, scraping cobs well with a paring knife or vegetable peeler to remove all milk. Set aside.
Combine oil and butter in a large skillet. Heat until butter melts. Add corn, tomato and remaining ingredients. Cook five minutes, stirring constantly. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes, stirring often.
