Southern Cornbread

Pin It

The traditional Southern cornbread is not sweet and is baked in a very hot cast iron skillet.  These are the main differences from the cornbread most of us grew up with.  Both are equally delicious and it's just a matter of preference as to which you choose to make at any given time.

I have to admit that until a week ago my preference was for the kind I grew up in the North...yellow and sweet.  My daughter always keeps a box or two of the Jiffy Cornbread mix and although not as good as homemade, it works in a pinch.

When Mother was here, I bought some magazines to keep her entertained and among them was a copy of Southern Living's Best Recipes of last year.  I had it close at hand on the night I served split pea soup and rather than go rummaging for my old recipe, I decided to try theirs.  It was one of the best decisions I have made in my world of food.  Not only was it to die for, it converted me forever to the Southern camp.  The crustiness of the top is what takes this recipe over the top.  It stays like this even after you reheat it the next day. But in order to get this crustiness, you must use a cast iron skillet and preheat it before the cornmeal is poured in.

I used White Lily white cornmeal which is available in every Southern supermarket but may not be available where you live. I know this makes a lot of you very jealous and we have gone through very lively discussions on the merits of White Lily flour when making biscuits;  but this is cornmeal,  so it is not a tragedy.  In this case you can use any brand of self rising white cornmeal and it won't be a sacrilege.

Serves 8

Ingredients
 
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 3/4 cups self-rising white cornmeal mix
 2 cups nonfat buttermilk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon sugar

Preparation 

Preheat oven to 425°. Coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with canola oil; heat in oven 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together cornmeal mix, buttermilk, flour, egg, melted butter, and sugar. Pour batter into hot skillet. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden.

Fresh Florida Red Snapper With Tomato Corn Salsa

Pin It

There is no greater pleasure than having friends who go to the coast and bring back freshly caught red snapper ready to go in the pan.  Nothing.  Really fresh food is so rare these days that being able to enjoy it is a real treat. 

Just this week we got a call from one of my daughter's friends saying that her husband and a friend had just come back from the Gulf with a cooler full of fresh snapper they had just caught.  That evening, she showed up at the house with the fish already cleaned and filleted.  Now THAT is what I call a really good friend.

When you get fish this fresh, don't gild the lily. A little butter or olive oil, garlic, lemon and onions will do the trick.  If you want to be a little more creative, do what I did and sautee some corn, parley and fresh tomatoes and serve over or next to the snapper.  Steamed red potatoes in butter and parsley ft the meal to a tee. 

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs red snapper fillets, cleaned

1lemon
1 large onion

4 cloves garlic

Olive oil

2 TB butter

1 ear fresh corn

1 tomato

1/2 cup fresh parsley

Salt and pepper

Flour for dusting

Directions

Marinade the snapper for at least 2 hrs. in 1/2 the onion chopped, 2 garlic cloves mashed and half the juice of one lemon. Discard the marinade.

Warm oven to 300 degrees

When ready, pat the fillets dry in paper towels and lightly dust with flour on both sides.  Shake off excess.  In a skillet, melt 2TB of butter and 2TB of oil on medium high and add the snapper.  Cook approximately 4 minutes on each side.  You might have to lower the temperature a bit so butter doesn't burn.. Cooking time may vary depending on size of fillets.  Transfer the fillets to the oven to keep warm.

Now, if the pan is very dirty, wipe it with a paper towel.

Cut off the kernels from 1 fresh ear of corn.  Slice the other onion half.  Chop the tomato and parsley 

Add 1 TB each butter and oil and saute 2 cloves of garlic mashed and finely chopped.  Add the onions and corn. cover and cook for a couple of minutes stirring frequently.  Uncover and add the tomato and juice. Add salt and pepper. Cover and cook about 2 more minutes.  Add parsley and squeeze the other lemon half over it.  Cover and cook 1 minute.

Remove the fillets from the oven to a serving platter.  Pour the tomato, corn  and onion sauce over it and sprinkle more parsley on top.  Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Mock Corn Souffle

Pin It

Awhile back, my friend Reggie Darling requested a recipe for a mock corn souffle.  I had not forgotten, except I knew exactly what he was referring to and I just couldn't deliver.  Most of the recipes I had on file called for the typical corn pudding, better known as spoon bread in the South. A little heavier and not quite what I was looking for.  Knowing Reggie D. I was sure he was talking about one MD or one of her friends had probably served.  So where better to look than an old cookbook I had in my shelf called Palm Beach Entertains, Then and Now, published by the Junior League of the Palm Beaches  in 1976.

This is very light and very. very simple to make.  Reggie, darling, a caveman can do it, so can you.  The only thing I would suggest is cutting back the butter at the top from 8 TB to 6TB and cooking a little longer at a higher temperature for the last 5-10 minutes.  Aside from that, my family loved it!

This is such a typical Palm Beach recipe...very elegant and very simple.

Serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

2 Cups milk
1/4 Cup sugar
6 eggs, beaten well
2 TB flour
2 cans (16 ounces each) creamed corn
8 TB butter

Directions


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In the  bowl of a mixer combine milk, sugar, eggs and flour. Beat well for 2 minutes.  Add creamed corn and mix well with a spoon.  Pour into a shallow 9 x 13 baking dish.  Dot with the butter.  Bake 45 minutes.

Allow to set a few minutes before serving.

This will not come out brown on top.  Ir is really the color of a pudding.  I baked it an extra 5 minutes at 400 to get it an amber color.

James Beard's Cornbread Stuffing

Pin It

The original recipe for this stuffing was published in Gourmet Magazine in 1965.

Anointed the “dean of American cookery” by the New York Times in 1954, James Beard laid the groundwork for the food revolution that has put America at the forefront of global gastronomy. He was a pioneer foodie, host of the first food program on the fledgling medium of television in 1946, the first to suspect that classic American culinary traditions might cohere into a national cuisine, and an early champion of local products and markets. Beard nurtured a generation of American chefs and cookbook authors who have changed the way we eat. (The James Beard Foundation)


 Need I say more?

Yield: Makes enough stuffing for a 10-pound bird


Ingredients

1/4 pound (or more) butter

1 1/4 cups finely chopped onion

1 cup finely diced celery

1/2 cup chopped celery tops

1 1/2 teaspoons thyme

1 pound small link sausages or chipolatas, lightly browned

1 tablespoon salt or more, to taste

1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

6-8 cups coarse corn bread crumbs

3/4 cup Madeira


Preparation

Melt the butter in a saucepan with the chopped onion. Add the celery, celery tops, and thyme. Sauté the sausages gently or broil them. Add the salt and pepper to the crumbs and mix with the onion-celery mixture, the sausages, and the Madeira. Add more melted butter or some of the rendered sausage fat, if needed. Taste for seasonings. Stuff the turkey lightly.

Variations

1. Omit sausages and add 1 cup whole kernel corn and 1/2 cup finely chopped green chiles (or 1 cup, if you like the taste of chiles). Substitute 1/2 cup cognac for the Madeira.

2. Omit sausages. Sauté 1/2 pound sausage meat with the onions, breaking it up well. Add to the stuffing with 1 cup pecans.

3. Omit sausages. Add 1 1/2 cups finely shredded Smithfield ham to the stuffing. Sauté the onions in ham fat instead of butter.

4. Omit sausages. Add 2 cups crisp crumbled bacon to the stuffing. Sauté onions in bacon fat.

5. Omit sausages and celery. Add 2 cups coarsely chopped Smithfield ham and 2 cups coarsely chopped roasted and salted peanuts. If peanuts are not to your liking, you may substitute toasted and salted filberts.

6. If you like oysters in a stuffing, add about 2 dozen oysters with their liquor.

Crab And Corn Chowder

Pin It

This is another one of those recipes conceived when you have nothing on hand and it's dinner time.  You may have noticed that the most recent recipes on Lindaraxa's Garden and the country blog have included crabmeat or corn which is in abundance right now and cheap, cheap, cheap!  This recipe is a byproduct of cleaning the refrigerator before the weekend guests arrived and a cup of leftover crabmeat from last night's crab cakes waiting to be put to good use.  The good news is I am saturated with corn and I have sworn I will not buy another ear, no matter how cheap, until next summer.  We'll see how long that lasts...

You can substitute chicken for the crabmeat, but in my estimation, it's not even close!  This is the one time of the year when crab and corn  are in season and can be bought for a reasonable price.  Actually, the crab is reasonable, the corn they are giving away!  Take advantage of it.

Printable Recipe

Serves 4

Ingredients

4-6 ears sweet white corn, such as Silver Queen , shucked
OR 3 cups

4 pieces thick-sliced bacon, chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 stalks celery chopped fine

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups good fish stock**

2 cups whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup white breadcrumbs, firmly packed

1 cup crab meat

Dry Sherry (optional)

chopped parsley

chopped chives


Method

Schuck, wash and cut enough corn from the ears to equal 3 cups.

Sautee the bacon until most of the fat is rendered.  Remove to a paper towel to drain and chop in 1/2 inch piece.

Add the onions and celery to pan. Saute until tender and translucent, about 5 - 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the broth and corn.  Bring to a boil, reduce to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  Add the nutmeg and cayenne. Add the cream, and the crabmeat.  Cook for another 5 minutes.  If you opt to add sherry, do it now and simmer another 5 minutes.  Add the dry breadcrumbs and cook until the are incorporated, about another 5 minutes. Remove from stove and add chopped parsley and chives.. Pour into a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved  parsley and chive.*

*I like to rest the soup rest for about 30 minutes to absorb all the flavor.  You can reheat if it cools.

** You can make a quick fish broth by boiling some white fish, celery, onion, bay leaf, parsley, carrot and salt and pepper for about 30 minutes in about 4 cups of water.  Freeze what you don't use.  It will come in handy when you make the Simple Paella for Sunday Lunch

The Last Days Of Summer...Creamed Corn

Pin It

I have been looking for a good recipe for creamed corn since forever.  I came across this one browsing my mother's old Gourmet magazines while in Miami.  She used to make it often when I was young for my father adored it.  Although this dish is old-fashioned and simple it is truly memorable. The uncomplicated sweet delicacy of fresh, juicy corn is the secret.

If you want a very authentic southern version which involves (you guessed it!) bacon, check out my country blog in a couple of days.

Printable Recipe

Serves 8

Ingredients

12 ears corn, shucked

2 cups water

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup heavy cream

2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Preparation

Cut corn from cobs (reserve cobs) and put in a large saucepan with water, butter, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. Simmer over medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Meanwhile, scrape cobs in a small saucepan to extract "milk." Whisk in cream and flour. Boil over medium heat, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Carefully transfer cream mixture and 2 cups corn with some of cooking liquid to a blender and purée (use caution when blending hot liquids). Stir purée into corn and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in chives; season with salt and pepper.

Cooks' note:

Creamed corn, without chives, can be made 1 day ahead and chilled (covered once cool). Reheat gently and stir in chives.

Fourth of July Weekend... Charred Corn Salad

Pin It

Chances are you will have some leftover corn on the cob from one of the meals you serve your guests this weekend.   Don't throw it out...make this the next night.  This salad is wonderful with anything you throw on the grill, including hamburgers on the 4th; or bring it along next time you go on a picnic.  If you can't find jicama, skip it.

One thing you don't want to skip is chipotle chiles in adobo.  These are normally packed in cans with a sauce made of spices, vinegar, tomato sauce and sometimes other chilies. You can use the chiles, the sauce, or both in recipes. Don't worry, when I first made this salad, I had to look it up too!  You will find them in small cans in the Mexican section of the supermarket.  Have you noticed how this area is getting larger by the minute? My supermarket now has two sections!  People in this country have really fallen in love with all this hot and spicy food.  As for me, I have to look up most peppers every time they are included in a recipe.  It is soo confusing, all these peppers.  I have learned one thing though...habaneros are the hotest!

Serves 6-8 

Ingredients:

2 Tbs. fresh lime juice

1 Tbs. fresh orange juice

1 tsp. diced chipotle chili in adobo, plus 1 Tbs. adobo sauce

2 tsp. salt

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 tsp. honey

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbs. olive oil

6 ears of corn, husks and silks removed

1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained

2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro, plus cilantro leaves for garnish*

2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered

1/2 cup diced jicama

1/4 cup diced red onion

Directions:

In a bowl, whisk together the lime juice, orange juice, chipotle chili and adobo sauce, 1 tsp. of the salt, the garlic, honey and the 1/4 cup olive oil until smooth. Set the vinaigrette aside.

Prepare a hot fire in a grill or preheat a grill pan over high heat.

Rub the ears of corn with the 2 Tbs. olive oil and the remaining 1 tsp. salt. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter.

When the corn is cool enough to handle, remove the kernels from the cobs and place the kernels in a large bowl. Add the black beans, chopped cilantro, tomatoes, jicama, onion and vinaigrette and stir until well combined. Garnish with the cilantro leaves. Serve the salad at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8.

Succotash...A New Found Favorite

Pin It

It's funny how taste changes with age. I used to hate succotash when I was in boarding school and they used to serve it at least once a week, or so it felt.  Now, all of a sudden, I love it. The traditional recipe, that is, if you are Southern, has heavy cream added towards the end.  I frankly don't think it needs it so I have omitted it.  To be frank, more often than not, I just cook the lima beans and corn together in water and add a little butter at the end.  I only gild the lily if guests are involved.

Serves 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup chopped red pepper

2 cups frozen or canned corn, drained

2 cups frozen lima beans

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons butter

Salt and pepper

2 slices of Bacon (optional)


Directions

Cook bacon in moderate heat, stirring frequently, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer bacon with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

In a saucepan, heat butter and cook red pepper until tender about 1 minute. Stir in corn, lima beans and water. Cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in butter and season to taste. Garnish with crisp bacon.

Labor Day...The Menu

Pin It Well, it's here, the last weekend of the Summer. Fall is in the air, even in Miami!

For us here in Florida it is really a non event, but I remember how much I used to hate it when I lived in New England. Even though the beautiful Fall season is just around the corner, Labor Day and September always mean the end of grilling, weekends at the beach, dinner on the patio, gardening and all the outdoor things we like to do. And if you are a kid, yucks, back to school time. Here in Florida, it is a time for hurricanes, boarding up and stocking up. Hopefully, it will be a quiet season just like the last two. No, Labor Day is definitely not worth the extra day off.

For this holiday, the main dish is Baby Back Ribs. For the sides I suggest a couple of salads already posted, and for dessert, well it's got to be peaches, so take your pick!

Don't despair, Fall is around the corner and apple season is about to begin. You can have a drink on that!

Here are some of the recipes I suggest you consider for this holiday:

Fiesta Salsa...Dressing Up The Corn!

Pin It I love to create new recipes from lefovers. Nothing in this house is ever thrown away...never. Its just recycled into new and innovative great recipes.

Last week when I made the Mexican Quiche I had to open a large can of corn that I had in the pantry. Having just about 1/2 cup left, it soon became evident that it had to be part of something else.

My first idea was corn and tomato salad which I love and haven't made this summer. But there was definitely not enough corn for four. The night before I had been reading a fabulous book on entertaining which contained some recipes for salsa and that's where the idea started to gel. Luckly, Florida avocados are in season and cheap and there was a ripe one sitting on the counter. The result: salsa and london broil fajitas for dinner that night; salsa and corn tortillas to accompany Black Bean Dip for my Mother's Sunday canasta party; and salsa and chips for cocktails two nights in a row. all from 1/2 can of corn! The one avocado stayed beutifully fresh due to the lime and the tomatoes behaved themselves until the last day!


Ingredients

1/2 cup corn kernels

6 cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup chopped green peppers

1/2 cup chopped red peppers

1/2 cup chopped red onion

1/2 cup chopped cilantro

1 small avocado cut in 1/2 inch cubes

1 tsp. jalapeno, chopped fine (or to taste)

1 lime, juice of

2 TB olive oil

Tabasco Sauce to taste

Salt and Pepper


Cut the tomatoes in quarters and the avocado in 1/2 inch pieces. Mix everything together and serve. Correct the lime and olive oil to your taste.

Corn Quiche Mexican Style

Pin It

I saw this recipe in one of the Spanish magazines years ago, cut it out and it has been sitting in my recipe notebook since then. Today I tried it on my two toughest critics...my mother and our cleaning lady. The latter is a master with tortillas so her opinion was not to be dismissed lightly. The former is my Mother, my toughest critic across the board and a great cook. They both loved it! I tweaked it a little bit adding the green peppers and reducing the Tabasco and I can say it is definitely a keeper.

Be careful when you insert the tortillas in the ramekins so that you don't tear with your fingernails! you don't want any holes in it or the filling will run out to the bottom. You may have to make some pleats to get it to fit snugly in the ramekins and if the edges poke out don't worry. The result will be a beautiful flower with a delicious custard inside. Your guests will think you worked for hours! I am going to try them next week with the quiche Lorraine custard and will post the results. The possibilities are endless! Buen provecho.

Serves 2

4 flour tortillas
olive oil
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 Tb flour
1/8 tsp Tabasco
1/2 cup canned corn drained
1/2 cup finely chopped ham
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1 TB chopped onions
1TB chopped green peppers
Salt & Pepper

You will need 2 ramekins 5in X 2 in high
Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Oil the ramekins. Spray or brush olive oil on both sides of the tortillas. Insert the tortillas in the ramekins pushing all the way to the bottom to form a cup. Be careful you don't tear the tortilla. Fold sides if you need to. Cook 10 minutes until golden. Take out and cool.

In a bowl, beat the eggs with a wire whisk and mix in the rest of the ingredients. Pour into the ramekins and cook between 20-25 minutes until the quiche is set. Check with a toothpick. If the tortillas are browning too much, reduce the heat to 375 for the last 10 minute. Take out of the oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes. Very carefully remove quiche from the ramekins using a fork and a spoon, separating from the sides and pushing up from the bottom. Serve hot.

A delightful entree for lunch with a simple salad and possibly a bellini sorbetto for dessert!

Thai Corn Fritters

Pin It The first time I had these fritters was in the mid 80's at the legendary Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Unfortunately, at that time, I was not that interested in cooking Thai food at home so I never gave them a second thought. Living in New York at the time, if I wanted Thai food all I had to do was get in a cab.

Years later, living in Miami, I saw a fabulous cookbook at Costco called, The Ultimate Thai and Asian Cookbook, by Deh-Ta Hsiung, Becky Johnson and Sallie Morris. It had the most wonderful Asian recipes with pictures to match and on the second page I opened, there they were.

Now whatever else you may hear, Miami is not a place for good Thai food or any other kind of Asian cooking. I finally had to break down, purchase a wok and several Asian cookbooks and learn by trial and error.

These fritters are really very easy to make. I tried them on my bridge group one night and they flew off the plate, along with plenty of wine to chase them down! They are terrific with cocktails but they are hot, as in spicy hot, so be warned. If you do not like hot food, cut back on the chilli pepper. I wouldn't, particularly if you serve them for cocktails. Now that the fresh corn is coming in take advantage of it, particularly if you have some left over corn on the cob from dinner.

For those of you who like to eat and cook Asian food, I highly recommend this book. The only problem is its weight. It is the heaviest book I have ever carried in my life, but it's worth every pound of it.


Ingredients:

3 corn cobs

1 garlic clove, finely chopped

1 red or green chili, finely chopped

1 scallion, finely chopped

1 small bunch cilantro (aka coriander), finely chopped

1 tablespoon soy sauce

3/4 cup rice flour or plain flour

2 eggs

4 tablespoons water

salt and pepper, to taste

oil, for frying

Sweet Chili Sauce or
Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce



Directions


Using a sharp knife, slice the kernels from the cob and place in large bowl. Add all the other ingredients, except the oil and Chili Sauce. Stir well to mix thoroughly. The batter should be firm enough to hold its shape, but not stiff.

In a large skillet, heat oil for shallow frying, about 1/2″ deep. Add spoonfuls of corn batter. spreading out with back of spoon to make a roundish fritter. Cook about 2 minutes on each side until cooked thoroughly and golden brown. If the fritters begin to brown too much before they are cooked, lower the flame.

Drain on kitchen paper and keep hot while frying more fritters

Serve hot with Sweet Chili Sauce or Sweet & Sour Dipping Sauce which can be bought at the supermarket or a Chinese food store.

Fourth of July Barbecue...The Menu

Pin It A special friend has asked me for a menu for his Fourth of July barbecue that should have a recipe for kids not involving beef. What a dilemma! To me the Fourth of July is hamburgers or ribs on the grill or if I am by the seashore, a clam bake.

Sometimes we are presented with these situations where a guest cannot or will not eat beef or fish and what do we do? All I can say is that a good hostess should be able to accommodate everyone's tastes, allergies etc. while at the same time not sacrifice the majority for a few. In this situation, since we are going to be cooking on the grill, it's not a big problem to throw a few chicken pieces on the grill for those who don't like meat and that is what i have done. Drummettes are easy for little kids to handle and they also make great appetizers for the adults. Serve them for the grownups while you are having cocktails and save a few for the kids while the others are having hamburgers. That way everyone gets what they were expecting and you come out looking like a princess. Problem solved!
