Fresh Corn Cookies

Published at In Category corn, Recipes

From Susan Spungen of Susanality on Substack.

She bakes the cookies right after she makes the dough, which ensures a thin cookie. The dough is soft though, and a little tricky to handle, so she drop the scoops or spoonsful of dough directly into a bowl of sugar and jostle it around to coat; this makes it easier to handle. If you want to make the dough ahead and chill it, that’s fine, too. Form balls of dough while the dough is cold, and let them warm up a bit before baking. They won’t be quite as thin, but still perfectly delicious.

My other two ears of corn will be used for the Corn Polenta recipe below. A fresh version of a comfort food favorite from my childhood – creamed corn.

(2023) Summer Skillet Corn, with Peppers, Eggplant, Tomato and Za’atar

Published at In Category corn, eggplant, peppers, Recipes, Tomatoes

I am tempted to just chop everything up and make a big salad with a little of everything in it – yes, raw corn, and YES, raw okra. And that will be dinner tonight. But eventually we’ll want something else, so I’ve got three ideas here – two from my go-to New York Times (cold noodles with tomatoes!) but one that was demonstrated at the Decatur Farmers Market. I have to say that I truly miss restaurant chef demos at local farmers markets. At once time that was a mainstay of the markets and always a source of creative inspiration … now they’re extremely rare, but the Community Farmers Market folks have local cooks who do demos most every week, and their recipes are perhaps a bit more practical and maybe easier to pull off.

So here’s the loosely written recipe for “summer skillet corn, with peppers, eggplant, tomato and za’atar” that was demonstrated at the Decatur Farmers Market. We don’t have eggplant in this week’s box, but you’ve got everything else and if there’s no za’atar at your house, just use whatever seasoning mix is on hand.

(2021) Summer Vegetables in Spiced Yogurt Sauce

This is also a recipe from the New York Times and totally adaptable for what is in this week’s box. You should swap out vegetables as you prefer. I’ve just been in the mood for Indian food, so this really appealed to me this week. We ran a recipe for Chicken Korma from Aroma Bistro in Roswell a week or two ago and testing that recipe just made me crave Indian spices.
