Fresh
corn is one of the best parts of summer. Ever since Memorial Day
Weekend, corn has been on sale and that makes me want to take full
advantage of it. I bought 30 cobs of corn... yes... you can call that a
little over zealous. Then again my family loves corn so much so we
boiled 10 cobs the first night and ate it with butter, salt and
pepper. I recently bought a new cookbook by Katie Workman and I saw
this dish in her The Mom 100 Cookbook. I didn't even
bother looking at the recipe because the title and photo said it all.
So I winged it on the picture alone and it was total hit with the hubby
and kids. They requested it again so I ran out and bought some more
corn before the sale ended.
Ingredients:
5-6 slices bacon
2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach leaves
1 bell pepper or sweet peppers chopped
1 red onion chopped
1 stalk scallion (white and green separated)
salt and black pepper
red chili flakes to taste
1-2 cloves garlic minced
Directions:
Husk
corn on the cob and cut kernels off cob. Dice bacon and fry until
cooked through, but not crispy. Remove bacon and drain all bacon grease
except for 2 Tbs. Use the 2 Tbs of bacon grease to cook the rest of
the dish. 
Add onion, corn, peppers, garlic and whites of scallions. Season with
salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Saute for 3-5 minutes until
corn is crispy but cooked. Finally add spinach and toss well until
spinach starts to wilt (takes only a minute). Taste for seasoning and
finish dish. Serve warm or hot and garnish it with green parts of
scallions. Enjoy.
