1 part fresh sweet corn
Chopped onion
Chopped bell peppers
Chopped celery
Ground cumin
Rice vinegar
Mix the veggies, add cumin and rice vinegar to taste.
Corn Gazpacho
Place 1 cup cooked corn in a large bowl. Add 1 seeded, chopped tomato, 3 cups tomato juice, 1 unpeeled, diced,
medium cucumber (or 2 lemon cucumbers). ½ cup finely diced onion, ½ seeded, minced jalapeno, 1 minced garlic
clove, 2 tbsp minced fresh basil leaves, 3 tbsp fresh lime juice, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Stir. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Mix first 4 ingredients together in a blender; blend until smooth. Gradually add ice and continue to blend. Serve
immediately. Makes 5 cups.
Corn Pancakes
1 ½ cups fresh corn kernels
3 large egg whites
1/3 cup soft tofu
¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tbsp chopped parsley
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
Set aside ½ cup corn kernels. In a food processor or blender, blend remaining cup corn with 1 egg white, tofu, flour,
parsley, baking powder, salt, & pepper until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the container.
Transfer mixture to a bowl & stir in reserved whole corn. In another bowl, beat the remaining 2 egg whites to soft,
moist peaks that droop slightly when the beater is lifted. Scoop the egg whites onto the corn batter & fold them
gently with a rubber spatula.
Preheat oven to low. Spray a nonstick skillet lightly with nonstick spray & place over moderate heat. When the skillet
is hot enough to make the batter sizzle, make pancakes, using ¼ cup batter per cake. Cook until browned on the
bottom, 2 to 3 minutes, then turn & cook until cakes are golden brown on the other side, about 2 more minutes.
Transfer to a platter and keep warm in the oven. Continue until all batter is used.
