| | Leftover Corn on the Cob; what to do... what to do?Page 1 of 2 (1, 2) | What do you do with your leftover corn on the cob?
I don't like it reheated. Day old corn on the cob is not exactly a culinary delight.
I usually make corn fritters but they DO get boring after a while.... anybody got any suggestions?
Easy recipes would be nice. | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 8:18:58 AM | | Can cut the corn off the cob and put it in another dish or as a side dish then. It is a new way of using it from it's original form. The kfc famous bowl comes to mind, they put the mashed potatoes, corn, chicken pieces then shredded cheese with a slight layer of gravy over it in a heated bowl and then eat as it is..It is actually really tasty together. They have an option where you can add a biscuit also. Oh no, now I'm hungry.I should avoid food forums before lunch. LOL. | |

When I have leftover veggies, I put them in a freezer bowl and just add the next veggie on top and freeze. When it is full (which doesn't take long), I make homemade veggie soup. | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 5:14:40 PM | Thanks for all the suggestions!
As you might have guessed, I had corn on the cob last night and had leftovers. The Corn and Shrimp Chowder struck a chord with me so I whipped up some for dinner tonight. Just a simple recipe with corn, red onions and some frozen shrimp and fresh garden herbs (rosemary and catnip). I used a roux base with chicken bouillon and milk so it was rich and creamy.
Thanks kobieandbaily for the suggestion. A nice change from greasy old corn fritters! | |

What do you do with your leftover corn on the cob?
We used to give the leftovers to our cat, Winnie. We'd put it on a plate, on the floor, and she would eat the corn right off the cob! | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 7:55:43 PM | I like the compost idea and the shepards pie sounds great, yum. Well if you'd like to get tricky try a rangoon, lets say you have two cups of left over corn shaved off the cobb, Here is what you need:
12 oz. cream cheese(1 1/2c)
2 in. ginger peeled fine chopped
3 garlic cloves fine chopped
3 oz. crab meat(optional)
1 package 3in x 3in pastery papers( mostly found in asian markets frozen section)
4 cups canola oil
Take the left over corn sautee with the garlic and ginger for only a minuite then add to the cream cheese( it will mix better with a little warmth) you can add a little scallions if you wish( fine sliced) then the crab meat after the corn and the cream cheese are mix thuroughly to prevent from pulverising the crab meat. The real tricky part is to make the rangoon put about a half of a teaspoon in the center of the pastery and wet the mid part inbetween each corner and press all of them togeather. There you will have a rangoon. deep fry for 45 seconds in 350 degree heat. Yum! | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 11:00:29 PM | | It wrinkles in the fridge so I avoid cooking up more than I am going to eat at the moment. Its only a ten minute deal. But IF I happened to I'd probably make cream of corn... cut it off the corn, add some butter and cream or milk, season, simmer it a few minutes and eat. Or add it to cornbread. Throw it in salsa. Good in morning eggs, too. | |

Posted: 9/7/2007 12:11:51 AM | Cut it off the cob and throw it on top off a salad, especially nice with butter or leaf lettuce and a thinned out mayonaise dressing. You can also add it to soups or add it to
jarred salsa to make acorn salsa. | |

Posted: 9/7/2007 10:07:07 AM | | All those recipes sound great and I've made most of them at one point or another, but I love cold left over corn on the cob. I'm definetely going to try that corn and shrimp chowder from ~Rick above though. | |

I thought I did share the chowder recipe! 
In a soup pot make a roux base. Use about 4 tblsp butter, throw in some onions, maybe a couple of tablespoons worth minced. Sweat the onions on medium heat (don't brown) then add about 2-3 tbsp flour and cook for about a minute, stirring constantly.
Now add a couple of cups of milk (I use skim), a packet or two of dry chicken bouillon and some fresh herbs of your choice and bring this gently to a boil. It will thicken fast so stir constantly.
When it has thickened you can thin it with more milk or water if you like a thinner chowder.
Then add in pre-cooked corn (about 1 cup) and pre-cooked shrimp (about 1 cup chopped) and cook for another minute then serve immediately. I would have used uncooked or fresh shrimp but I happened to have pre-cooked on hand so in they went.
It was very quick and easy. Took about 15 minutes to make. A good 'throw together' supper with some bread and a salad.
Made enough to feed at least 4 people with some left over. I had such a big pot of it I had to take some over to my neighbours house and prawn it off on him (oops! I mean pawn it off....). He gave it the thumbs up too. | |

Posted: 9/8/2007 3:37:00 PM | The corn chowder sounds good.... if you add a little green pepper it changes the flavor quite a bit.. not for everyone but I like to add it once in a while .
Im wondering about the spice catnip?? Ive never used it and so what does it taste like ? This is really interesting and new to me , I thought it was strictly for cats..
I have used very few spices in my life and I don't usually like strong spices. Even chi tea or pumpkin pie , the spices are too strong.

Posted: 9/8/2007 5:37:30 PM | Yup, green or red pepper would have been good too. You could put any veggies in that you like: celery, peppers, tomatoes... the possibilites are endless as are the selection of herbs you can use. I used catnip and rosemary because I had both of these on hand, fresh from my garden.
Catnip tastes like a cross between mint and basil but has its own distinct flavour (that's the best I can describe it). It turns out that it can be used in many, many dishes but that is a different thread topic.

I doubt very much that I would cook with the dried version, fresh is the only way to go. | |

Posted: 9/8/2007 5:42:04 PM | | too many corn on the cobs? cut it off cob, freeze it for veggie soup later, does great that way. if you do green beans, it could be used in them, if you like green beans and corn cooked together. | |

Posted: 9/8/2007 5:47:45 PM | cut it off the cob and freeze it in microwave safe containers..
when reheating open the container add a little butter and heat on medium power.. tastes like fresh off the cob.. nice on a snowy day...better with some oven fried chicken.. and grilled potatoes.. or a side dish for a winter bbq meal.. | |

Nope, you said this:

I can't figure out how to make a chowder from this description. I don't even know what a "roux base" is. I'm just learning.

Posted: 9/9/2007 6:36:46 PM | I agree with Betzjam...simply cut off the cob after the cob is donw and cooled. Put into freezer bags and there ya have it...your very own "fresh" peaches and cream corn from the freezer.
Microwave with butter in a bowl or steam via stovetope steamer with water or white wine for ten minutes. Merge with your favortite protein entree, and Dinner will be amazing...
Now you're onto your next food mystery....this problem' s obviously solved, according to everyone's inputs in here! | |

Posted: 9/9/2007 6:42:11 PM | | Freezing it will loose the fresh taste it had, It wont hurt to reboil it just enough to warm it up. It will taste almost as good as it was the first time. If you do choose to use it in other recipes, do it right away , nothing like the fresh corn taste, Sure freeze it if your making soup and you don't really care. | |
