This is a yummy Cajun smothered corn dish that is slightly spicy and crunchy. It is pronounced MOCK shoo.
Ingredients:
8 medium of fresh ears of corn
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 small green sweet pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1 medium tomato, cut up
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
Directions:
1. Remove the husks from corn; scrub with a stiff brush to remove silks.
2. Rinse.
3. Use a sharp knife to remove corn from cobs, cutting two-thirds of the way to the cob.
4. Scrape cobs with a dull edge of a knife.
5. (You should have about 4 cups.) In a 3-quart saucepan, cook onion and green pepper in butter or margarine about 5 minutes or until tender.
6. Stir in corn, tomato, salt, black pepper, and red pepper.
7. Cover and cook over low heat about 20 minutes or until corn is tender.
8. Season to taste.
9. Enjoy!
