Maquechoux, pronounced "MOCK SHOE", is a Cajun dish that my mother would often prepare.  Best when you can use fresh corn; however if not available use frozen.

 

  • 6 ears of corn
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1-onions, chopped
  • 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 rib celery, chopped
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½  cup evaporated milk

Shuck the corn and remove all of the cornsilk. Cut the kernels off the cob.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan or pot over medium-high heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, celery and tomatoes and saute until the onions are transparent, about 10 - 12 minutes. Stir in the salt and peppers, then add the corn and milk from the cobs, the sugar and evaporated milk and stir well. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the corn is tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Hi Richard... I am not a fan of the green bell pepper (although, I do like the red and yellow varieties).  Can it be omitted without hurting the recipe?

Steve,

Thanks for your comments.  You could substitute red or yellow with no problem.  I have used red in the past.

Richard,

This dish sounds like it would be spicy hot!  12 teaspoons of black pepper??
