Maque Choux (Cajun Corn Sautee) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ears fresh corn
1/2 cup butter
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno, diced (be careful when cutting to protect your eyes, wash your hands after handling)
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
salt
cayenne

Preparation

Cut the corn from the cob. Scrape the cobs with the blunt edge of the knife to remove the \"milk.\" Set aside.
Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until golden and soft, about 10 minutes.
Add corn, tomatoes, and water. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
Add salt, jalapeno, and cayenne and cook until corn is very tender, 20-30 minutes more.
