Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Cajun Corn and Bacon Maque Choux

• Description
  • Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, which means that Mardi Gras is coming to a close. Recently we had the opportunity to enjoy a dinner with Matt, KD9BWJ, at Zydeco's in Mooresville, Indiana, which is co-owned by Carter "Hutch" Hutchinson, K9KJN, who also cooks a lot of the wonderful food. Hutch joined us for Episode #131 back in June of 2014. While I am positive he is going to cringe at my recipe this week, we love this dish.

• Ingredients
  • 4 cups frozen corn, defrosted (or 6 ears corn, husked and cleaned)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 large fresh tomato, chopped (or use one 14oz can diced tomatoes, drained)
  • Salt to taste
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 8 strips crisply cooked bacon, crumbled (or 1/2 cup real bacon bits)

• Directions
  • Place corn in a medium bowl (If using fresh corn, cut corn off the cobs by thinly slicing across the tops of the kernels; place in a medium bowl. Cut across the kernels again to release milk from the corn), and use a spoon to smash the kernals a bit to get them to release the milk contained within, once you are finished with the corn, add milk to the bowl of corn. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper, cook until onion is transparent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Combine the corn and milk mixture with the tomatoes and add to the onion mixture. Reduce heat to medium low and cook 20 minutes longer, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Do not boil. Season with salt and cayenne pepper. Lower heat, cover skillet and cook 5 to 10 minutes longer. Stir in green onions and bacon. Remove from heat and serve.

Segment 5 (Cheryl's Recipe Corner)

• Grünkernsuppe (Traditional German Spelt Soup)

• Description
  • On Saturday, Russ and I traveled to Kansas City to do some shopping at IKEA, visit Weston Brewing in Weston, Missouri (we're enjoying beverages from there at this very moment), and visit the “Steamboat Arabia” museum. At the end of our day we enjoyed a lovely meal at Grünauer restaurant in a Frisco freight building behind beautiful Union Station. Because we dined there during Kansas City's Restaurant Week we had a 3 course meal to enjoy. This was the dish that Russ chose for his first course. The rest of the meal was average until we got to the Salted Caramel Pot de Creme we had for dessert. While it is not something we've made at home before, it WILL be something we do in the very near future. I love soup in the winter, especially with Pot de Creme for dessert.

• Ingredients
  • ¼ cup Butter
  • 1 small Onion, minced
  • 1 large Carrot, minced
  • 6 fresh Mushrooms, minced
  • 6 oz. Spelt berries, crushed
  • 4 cups Broth (your choice of vegetable, chicken or beef)
  • ¼ cup “Real Bacon Bits” (or a few pieces fried then crumbled) – optional (or cooked and diced chicken, cooked sausage... the choices are endless!)
  • ½ cup Cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

• Directions
  • Over medium heat, sauté vegetables in the butter until beginning to get soft. Add crushed spelt berries to the vegetable mixture and saute for a few moments to release flavor. Do not burn the berries. If the berries begin to brown, remove from heat immediately. Add broth and meat to the vegetable/berry medley and simmer over low heat for approximately 2 hours. Remove from heat. Garnish each bowl with salt, pepper and a drizzle of cream over the top of the soup. You will stir the cream in just before you eat it. This recipe will make 4-6 servings.

• Notes
  • Spelt berries (NOT flour) can be purchased at your local natural food store. Or you can get it online or locally through akin.com. Amazon carries it as well. Look for “Bob's Red Mill Spelt Berries." This soup is very forgiving regarding the ingredients. Leave meat out, leave vegetables out, add different (or more) meat, add different (or more) veggies; the choice is yours. As the recipe is written, it is a brothy soup similar to chicken noodle soup in taste and consistency. If you'd like a thicker soup, you can puree' everything together.
