SIMPLE ROASTED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Measure a 24-inch length of twine, if using, and cut into 4 even pieces.
• Peel back the husks from the cobs but do not remove completely. Remove all of the silk underneath and discard. Drizzle the cobs with some oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pull the husks back up and around the corn.
• Put the corn directly on the oven rack and roast until the corn is tender and the husks are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
• If using twine, pull the husks back and tie with a piece of string. Transfer the cobs, in their husks, to a serving platter.

PAN-FRIED SWEET CORN

Steps:

• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cut kernels off corn cobs into the skillet with a knife. Scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to release corn "milk" and any remaining kernels into the pan. Add salt and pepper to taste. Fry until corn is hot and tender, about 10 minutes.

SAVORY CORN FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Mix in the sun-dried tomato pest until evenly distributed. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time so that the mixture is just moist enough to form a ball.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Form the dough into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness, or about as thick as a very thin pizza crust. Place the flat dough into the preheated pan, and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. When done, each side should have several browned spots. Serve immediately, or store at room temperature. It keeps very well.
