Creamy Stovetop Corn With Poblano Chiles
Grilled Halibut With Indian Spices and Corn Relish
Here, a fragrant combination of ground cumin, turmeric, coriander and fennel seed is rubbed all over fresh halibut steaks (Pacific salmon, wild striped bass and hake also work well here). The steaks are then left to marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator before grilling. The cooked fish is topped with a quick relish made of fresh corn, ginger, onion, cilantro and a bit of the spice mixture that's been sautéed in clarified butter. It's an unexpected yet extraordinary way to prepare fish that might just win over the self-proclaimed seafood-haters at the table.
Shrimp Pasta With Corn and Basil
This particularly American combination of flavors — shrimp and corn — is light, summery and very tasty, both sweet and slightly spicy. If you are feeling flush, you can make this pasta with lobster instead.
Lobster Succotash
If you take some liberties with traditional American succotash you can transform it from a side dish to a deluxe starter or even a main course. Fresh shelling beans, such as cannellini beans or cranberry beans, are available at farmers' markets from mid-to-late-summer. If you can’t find them, use frozen limas.
Orecchiette With Corn, Jalapeño, Feta and Basil
Sweet, peak season corn is at the heart of this flavorful and simple-to-make summer pasta. The jalapeño offers a pleasant kick, and the feta cheese tossed in at the end melts slightly, giving the sauce a silky texture. It’s worth seeking out orecchiette here, as it nicely catches the corn kernels, creating perfect bites. If you can’t find it, fusilli or farfalle would work in its place. Serve with a bright, simple salad alongside and fresh fruit for dessert.
Zucchini Pasta with Sungold Tomatoes, Corn and Sunflower Seeds
Making zucchini pasta is simple, but there are some rules to keep in mind. Green or yellow gold bar zucchini are better to use than the yellow, pear-shaped variety. Zucchinis are firmer skinned and more cylindrical than other squashes, which works well in a mandoline. Be sure to squeeze out as much water as possible with a cheesecloth or kitchen towel or the zucchinis will leach a puddle of water onto the serving plate after salting. To dress the pasta, a combination of olive oil, lemon juice and basil leaves works just as well. This dish is served with Sungold tomatoes and corn to add sweetness, and sunflower seeds for crunch.
Summer Corn Soup
This salty yet sweet, creamy yet crunchy fresh corn chowder was developed for The Times by Wade Burch, the executive chef of several restaurants owned by Merchants Hospitality in New York, for a series of articles about chefs who cook with their children. It's loaded with fresh corn (12 ears worth) and dotted with jalapeño and red bell pepper. It does take a little time owing to the corn stock, but it's so worth it. The taste of the finished soup is pure summer.
Corn and Lobster Tart
Lobster and corn. It does not take much more than those eminently compatible ingredients to recognize summer. You hardly need a recipe to prepare steamed or broiled lobsters and serve them with corn on the cob. But you do need more than pocket change. Here, you can satisfy four at lunch or six with a first course at dinner, relying on a single, modest lobster. This quiche-like tart, meant to accompany a glass of chilled chardonnay, can be served warm or at room temperature.
Sautéed Corn, Greens, Bacon and Scallions
This recipe came to The Times by way of Katie Workman, author of “The Mom 100 Cookbook,” a book for parents who want to feed their kids (and themselves) wholesome meals that also taste good. She took as her motto for the vegetables chapter: “They can’t eat only raw baby carrots for the rest of their lives.” She believes that reasonably lavish applications of fat (bacon bits, butter, cheese, oil) make vegetables instantly palatable, and she is right. Her default technique is to sauté a shallot in butter, turn the vegetables in the pan until they start to soften, then cover tightly and let them cook in their own steam, testing them often. Here, a colorful medley of fresh corn, bell pepper, and kale are sautéed with bacon fat, butter and shallots, then tossed with bacon bits and scallions. It's endlessly versatile – substitute carrots or summer squash for peppers, onions for shallots, spinach for kale – and could very well win over the pickiest of eaters.
Wild Rice and Arborio Risotto With Corn and Red Pepper
Though chefs these days get away with calling all sorts of grainy dishes risottos, the finished products often lack the creamy texture that makes classic risottos so appealing. But that creamy texture is possible if whole grains are cooked separately and combined with some arborio rice, the traditional risotto rice. Wild rice and corn contribute a New World character to this multicolored, multitextured risotto. The dish is delicious with or without the cheese.
Chilled Corn Soup With Basil
No-cook, chilled blender soups are so quick to make it almost feels like cheating. This one stars sweet corn that’s been tarted up with buttermilk and lime juice, spiced with garlic and scallion, and imbued with fresh herbs. While straining it isn’t entirely necessary, it will give you a smoother, more elegant soup. But when it’s too hot to breathe, let alone dig out the strainer, you have our permission to skip it. Serve this in espresso cups or shot glasses as an hors d’oeuvre, or in bowls as a first course.
Corn and Crab Cakes
Savory Clafoutis With Corn and Swiss Chard
Clafoutis are baked French pancakes, usually filled with sweet cherries. This savory version calls for corn, Swiss chard and leeks instead of fruit, and includes plenty of Gruyère for a salty depth. It will emerge from the oven puffed and golden, then quickly deflate. Fear not, it still tastes wonderful after it flattens out, though for the best presentation, try to time it so your guests are at the table when it is ready. Serve it for brunch or a light dinner with a tomato salad on the side, if you’re making this in tomato season. In winter, sliced oranges drizzled with olive oil and salt are nice, too.
Creamed Corn
This is a sweetly comforting dish, and it's remarkably simple to make. Fresh corn is best for this, but frozen corn would work as well. If using the latter, add a bit of water when cooking before you add the milk.
Tomato, Cucumber and Corn Salad
You can serve this refreshing mixture as a salad, as a topping for whole grains or as a salsa with grilled fish or chicken.
Corn and Vegetable Gratin With Cumin
This pretty gratin is not as rich as it tastes. I blend the kernels from one of the ears of corn with eggs and milk for a sweet, rich custard that holds it all together. Cumin seeds accent the mixture and give it a Southwestern twist.
Sweet Corn Blini
Corn Empanadas
Back in 2013, David Tanis learned to make several versions of empanadas from his friend Fernando Trocca, an Argentine chef, including one filled with sweet corn. Here, Mr. Tanis uses potatoes, peppers and ham, in addition to corn, to fill the handmade dough. It’s not a quick project, but it yields dividends and the satisfaction of pulling dozens of the small pies out of the oven.
Lamb Chops With Beans, Corn and Zucchini
Lamb chops are always a treat, especially when marinated with lots of chopped rosemary, sage and garlic, then pan-fried slowly in extra-virgin olive oil. A delightful accompaniment is a seasonal vegetable stew of fresh green beans, corn and summer squash. For the best marriage of flavors, cook the vegetables until rather soft. The chops get no sauce; the vegetables are finished with a little gremolata, in this case a mixture of parsley, scallions and lemon zest.
Roasted Corn and Edamame Salad
A late-summer side with lots of crunch, spice and herbs, this is great with anything grilled. Hugh Mangum, the New York chef of Texas lineage who started the Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque chain, has brightened up the traditional Texas plate of meat, meat, meat and white bread with fresh sides like this one. It holds up well overnight, too.
Stir-fried Succotash With Edamame
While we’ve still got corn and peppers aplenty, make this Asian version of the American classic succotash. I love the combination of sweet and seared flavors in this dish.
