White Corn and Mushrooms with Cilantro
adapted slightly from delish
Ingredients
5 ears fresh white corn, husks removed and kernels cut from cobs (alternatively, you can 3 cups frozen)
8 ounces crimini mushrooms, stems removed and cut into a small dice
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Kosher salt
Cracked black pepper
Method
In a medium, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. When butter has melted and is just beginning to brown, add the mushrooms and saute until softened and browned.
Reduce heat to medium high. Add corn, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, cayenne pepper and smoked paprika. Stir to combine. Continue to saute until corn kernels are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup cilantro. Add salt and pepper to taste.
NOTES
This is an amazing little dish. The original used half the spice mine did (surprise, surprise), so of course you can always adjust it to your taste. I also admit to being haphazard with the corn and mushroom measurements. Just create a ratio that seems right to you (or to the other person eating it who may not like nearly as many mushrooms as you do... the stinker).
Serve it with the Chipotle Honey Lime Pork Tenderloin below. You can thank me later.

Love the top photo! It's so you.
I agree with your commentary -- I can see how haphazard measurements would be fine. I think what surprises me the most is the cilantro... but if you say it's delicious... you haven't steered me wrong yet :)
Hee! Thanks. You know me, with the peppers...
And really, I never would have thought of this combination, but one look at Beck's photos had me sold. It's wonderful.
i [heart] the masthead:) it's spicy like you!
um yeah, i wouldn't have thought to put these together like this either.
i bet it would be tasty as a main dish as well. maybe with some diced chicken, over rice. hmmm... i love get fun ideas from you <3
Thanks D! I love getting ideas from YOU - I would not have thought to make it a main dish base... but chicken, mushrooms, corn and cilantro? YES!
Sweet! You know, for some reason, I thought it was a raw corn side dish, like corn salsa...but this is even better than I thought. Thanks!
Thanks for the recipe, Melissa.
I LOVE recipes where the measurements don't have to be precise. I don't roll that way! Probably the main reason that I don't enjoy baking!
I'm bookmarking this now. I bet this would be good with a mushroom combo, too. Maybe Crimini's, Baby Portobellas, & Shitakes? What do you think?
I just love it when you can adapt a recipe to your own taste! I also love the idea of adding chicken!
Honestly, Edwin, I was a little curious when you used the word 'salsa' down there. I bet you'd really like this interesting dish though.
LS - Becks said that the restaurant dish that she got this idea from used shitakes and green onion, so I think anything would work. And I love the idea of making this a single meal and adding chicken too. Nice going D!
I guess it does seem like an odd pairing, but I love corn and mushrooms, so bring it on. And p.s. - the pork looks amazing, with that sauce glistening. I can taste it.
I love the new photo header, too! I laughed when I saw it. But in a good way. Suits you perfectly.
I'm a big fan of sauteed corn, I'll have to try the extra spices.
I just envisioned this as a bed for a beautiful crab cake. Ooh, project!
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
Amy, I knew people who really know me would love the pepper plant. ;) Thanks for the compliment on the pork too.
Elliott - oooo. Between you and Dawna, I may have two new meals with this. Lovely.
Anonymous - Can't tell if you're spam or not, but if you aren't, my only reply is that I don't have the want or need to attract new (more) readers. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other. Thanks for the input regardless.
I saw that corn on the plate next to the pork and I knew right away which recipe it was! I still haven't had a chance to try it but I am looking forward to it. The pork loin looks incredible.
Thank you Katie, especially for the recipe. :)
Great for when the corn season comes. I think it's a great combination.
Some bacon would be very nice in this too.
Made this tonight, I'm with Short (dis)Order - corn season can't get here quickly enough. The flavors were right on, but I'll use frozen corn next time. The fresh corn was a starchy, chewy disappointment.
Just another reason to look forward to August...
And yes, my ratio of mushroom-to-corn was higher than yours.
I've actually only made this with frozen because I haven't made it in corn season yet. But I will!
Hope your crab cakies were good. :)
Oh, they were. And we're not opposed to crab cakes around here, so I'm sure I could be coerced into making them again. (Check your FB, I sent you a picture.)
I would never have thought to combine these ingredients but I trust you so I am sure it's delicious. The whole meal looks spectacular.
girl this looks riquisimo! :) love the corn with cilantro, and mushrooms, any day.
We talked about it, but thanks again Pam.
Bren, yes! This is so you! Of anyone I know, you would be the one to know these flavors together. :)
Hell yeah. Sounds awesome. I need to make this with pw's spicy mac and cheese and some bbq chicken. I long for grilling weather.
Oh Jess that sounds awesome. Especially with the barbecue chicken. I love all the ideas my commenters came up with for this side dish.
