1. Southern Fried Corn
This recipe from Millie Peartree is a classic of the South, and one of the most delicious ways to eat fresh corn: insistently cooked in a mixture of bacon fat and butter. Running your knife along the cob releases extra corn “milk,” which adds creaminess to the dish. (Sometimes I slurp that milk straight from the cob; it’s my kitchen, I’ll do what I want.) Serve this with simply cooked meat, chicken or fish.
3. Grilled Corn and Avocado Salad With Feta Dressing
Sue Li’s salad brims with delicious bites — chewy corn kernels, silky avocado, tangy feta, a pop of jalapeño. Make this into dinner by doubling the dressing and adding grilled chicken or shrimp.
