Description

If you haven't had maque choux — corn and tomatoes stewed together — you're really in for a treat. In this favorite Cajun dish, the corn gains a lush, savory sauciness, while the tomato benefits from the kernels' gentle chew. Here, okra is added and cooked just until tender, bringing its own unique texture to the mix.

Ingredients

6 scallions, chopped
1 fresh jalapeño, finely chopped, with seeds
1 large green bell pepper, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 pound tomatoes, coarsely chopped
3 cups corn (from 5 to 6 ears)
1/2 pound small fresh okra, trimmed, keeping stem end intact

Directions

  1. Cook scallions, jalapeño, bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until scallions begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until broken down into a sauce, about 15 minutes.
  2. Add corn and okra and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 15 minutes.
