Slow Cooked Jalapeno Corn

Ah, glorious sweet corn. It makes me happy whenever corn is in season. I love it any way you can cook it. This slow cooked jalapeno corn version adds a bit of heat (though really, it’s quite tame) from jalapenos, and tremendous creamy sweetness. It’s also perfect for a get-together since it makes a pretty good size batch. You can halve it if you need, or double it for an even bigger crowd.

Slow Cooked Jalapeno Corn

You can leave out the jalapenos, but I think you’ll want to add something in place of it, like minced sweet onion. Don’t go crazy with it, but you need just a little something for a little bite in this slow cooked jalapeno corn.

Although I slow cooked the corn in my oven, you can also cook it on a grill or even a smoker. Just keep your temperature around 250 F and the corn will come out delicious.

If it’s in season, I grab my sweet corn from My Dad’s Sweet Corn!

Also try my cedar planked sweet corn.

Slow-Cooked Lima Beans

I have been devouring Chef Vivian Howard’s book, Deep Run Roots. Every recipe in the book sounds so great that I just cannot slow down. These slow-cooked Lima beans are an excellent example not only of the great flavors Chef Howard conjures, but also the simplicity of the recipes. Lightly smoky tender beans. That’s it. Nothing fancy, but mighty good, specially on a cold day.

Slow-Cooked Lima Beans

Depending on how you like your beans, you may want to cook your slow-cooked Lima beans a little longer or a little less. I like mine pretty tender, bordering falling apart. Some folk like a little more ‘bite’ to theirs so they don’t cook them quite as much. For extra smokiness (and a bit more seasoning meat) I used a smoked pork shank instead of the usual hock.

Oh, did I mention that these beans are perfect over a big piece of cornbread? Just like my creamy butter beans are.
