RECOVERED RECIPE (Spicy Corn with Feta, originally posted October 10, 2023) –

As many of you know, I lost the prior eleven months of melinmac cooks posts in September 2024, and I’m now trying to rebuild what I’ve lost. This is one of those posts. Luckily I saved all of the pictures on my hard drive, but the content of the lost posts, including recipes, are not recoverable. At this point I’m not trying to recreate anything more than the recipes with pictures. Hopefully I’ll build it all back over time. Thanks for being here!

Spicy Corn with Feta

Author: melinmac

Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn (or 4 cups of frozen corn)
• 1 ripe serrano pepper
• 1 large jalapeño
• 1 clove garlic
• fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 2 T butter
• 1 lime
• 3 T mayo
• 5 ounces crumbled feta
• 1 t chipotle powder

Instructions

• Prep the veg – Strip the corn kernels from the cobs. Deseed and thinly slice the serrano pepper. Deseed and mince the jalapeño. Mince or grate the garlic. Chop the cilantro.
  
• Sauté the corn – Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the corn kernels and peppers in the butter, stirring occasionally, until cooked through. Turn up the heat to high and cook without stirring for 2 minutes to ensure a slight char on the bottom kernels. Remove from the heat and stir.
• Stir together – Squeeze the lime. Stir the mayo, feta, chipotle powder, garlic, and lime juice into the corn mixture.
  
• Garnish and serve – Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.
