have you ever seen more beautiful corn? i picked up an ear at whole foods this week simply because the corn was red. i have never seen or eaten red corn before. i made this for myself and served it with a salmon cake and grilled asparagus. i simply cut the kernels off the cob and sauteed them in a little olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper. doesn't garlic just makes everything taste better? i have to say, after i stopped staring at this gorgeous new found food item that was sitting so pretty on my plate and decided it was time to taste it, i was a bit disappointed. not overly disappointed, i mean it's not like there was a kernel left on my plate or anything, but i was hoping to love this new corn i discovered, but i just didn't. i like traditional yellow and white corn better. this red corn was very starchy and gummy. it still tasted good, but it was thick. but please, don't take my word on this, if you happen to see an ear at the market, pick it up. it's fun and exciting to try new foods. especially when they are so pretty.
