Ingredients

  • 4 cobs fresh corn - shucked
  • 4 slices good quality bacon
  • 2 large shallots - thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp piment d'esplette - cajun spice or whatever you want - it should just work
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Stand the peeled corn on end. Use a sharp chef's knife to slice down the cob lengthwise to remove kernels. You should be able to do this in 4 slices. You want to be cutting down onto the board and away from you. Safety first!
  • Choose a frying pan large enough to hold the corn.
  • Cut the bacon into roughly kernel sized pieces and fry until done to your taste. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Spoon off all but about 1 Tbsp of bacon fat.
  • In the same pan, cook the sliced shallots in the 1 Tbsp bacon fat. You want medium low heat. You don't want your shallots to burn.
  • When the shallots are soft, add the corn and cook, stirring constantly, until the corn is just heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the piment d'esplette or whatever spice you choose.
  • Adjust salt to taste and serve.
