Corn on the Cob

August3

Recipe: Corn on the CobCorn on the Cob

Ingredients

  • Corn
  • Butter
  • Salt, Pepper, or other seasoning

Instructions

  1. Shuck the corn & set aside
  2. Here are several ways to cook the corn:
  • Bring the water to a boil – Place in a steamer basket and steam for 8-10 minutes
  • Bring the water to a boil – Reduce the water to a simmer and add the corn cobs for about 8 minutes
  • Bring the water with corn up to a boil, turn heat off, cover, let steam for 20 minutes
  • Another option is to steam, boil, or grill the corn by keeping on the husks, which can intensify the flavor

Slice corn from the cobs after steaming or boiling. Toss with butter or the Olive Oil & a Blend of salt or other seasonings, such as Chipotle.

Grilled Vegetables

August3

Recipe: Grilled Vegetables

Ingredients

  • Zucchini
  • Yellow Squash
  • Red Onions, cubed
  • Mushrooms
  • Red Pepper
  • Bottled Italian Dressing

Instructions

  1. Slice zucchini & squash 1/8 – 1/4 inch thick
  2. Cut the red peppers into about 1/2 inch chunks
  3. Toss into a ziploc bag or bowl and toss with the marinade to coat
  4. Put in the fridge until ready to grill
  5. Slide onto skewers or bamboo skewers that you have soaked in water for a bit
  6. Grill on a hot grill, turning occasionally until desired doneness

Quick Notes

After I cut the red onion into chunks, I do not actually place them in the marinade, where they will tend to fall apart. Instead, I wait & place them on the skewer as a chunk & then drizzle any remaining marinade over the entire kabob, onions get a little extra drizzle.
