So-Good Miso Corn

The irony of me choosing one of the quickest and easiest recipes - 

Dorie's So-Good Miso Corn- for this week is not lost on me.  

With the abundance of time during this recent pandemic (we are still in 

"lockdown" in PA) most folks are taking the opportunity to tackle the time

 consuming challenges we don't typically manage to fit in our busy schedules. 

Heck, Nana and I recently knocked out our first Croquembouche !  

Notice Nana's "Mr. Toad" statute in the background. The kids grew up with this adorably plump icon on the patio :)

But another angle of this pandemic is that we are focused on using what we have. 

And we have corn and miso. And Za'atar. Or at least Nana does :) 

Plus I somehow managed to not be familiar with Miso and was very excited 

to finally try it. Boy am I glad I did. It added a wonderful and new complex 

but not overwhelming flavor to a simple bag of Trader Joe's frozen corn. 

Yup- frozen, but Trader Joes. I happen to love how TJ's does their corn.

The results ? A fun, tasty and crazy quick way to spice up a standard side dish. 

And healthy, did I mention that too ? Of course Dorie provides additional tips on 

how to cut fresh corn from the cob as well as how to turn this side dish into a 

main dish with squid, providing inspiration if not a specific main course choice

 - this recipe continues to have me impressed by this book.
