two of my favorite things
I love fresh corn and tomatoes, so I didn't have to think twice about
this wonderful summer dish. It's another one of those quick and
easy recipes from Gourmet magazine's July issue. Simple and
delicious.
Corn-and-Tomato Scramble
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp vinegar (I used rice vinegar)
1 pound tomatoes cut into bite size pieces
1 bunch scallions, finely chopped, keeping greens separate
2 Tbsp butter
4 cups corn kernels (from about 8 ears)
Whisk together oil, vinegar. Toss tomatoes to marinate.
Cook white parts of scallions in butter until golden, add corn
and 3/4 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and cook until tender, about
five minutes. Transfer to bowl and cool. Toss together, tomatoes,
corn and scallion greens. Serve room temperature.
Okay, this is a good one...I'm putting it together tommorrow after a trip to the produce stand!
ReplyDeleteIsn't summer great!
Yummy to say the least, I'm copying this one down. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFabulous!! I can't wait for our corn to pop.
ReplyDeleteWillow...this a keeper, and since I was both in the fridge, this is on tomorrow's menu! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI get the magazine and drool over those recipes; but, I put it away and forget about it more often than not. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeletewill pass this one on to T. like them seperate, why not together? Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I like this! And was just getting ready to make a salad for work...
ReplyDeleteThese are two of my favorites also, can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum. I may have to make a grocery run soon -- our corn and tomatoes are a month away from being ripe.
ReplyDeleteWillow, So happy there's not an egg component - "scramble" always leads me "egg." Great summer recipe, thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh, yummy. Love corn.
ReplyDeleteThe flavors of summer.
ReplyDeleteAnd the photograph looks like a painting.
I am keeping this one! What a great start for my new recipe collection. THANKS
ReplyDeleteLinda
Oooh, something even I could probably manage! and I love corn and of course tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteThank you WIllow - this is an easy winner by the sounds of it. xv
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy. My sister makes a corn slaw that is a little different but is very good too. It is 110 degrees today here in sunny CA. To bad I didn't see this earlier but I'm sure there's still plenty of even hotter days coming. Looks refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI love the word scramble used in cooking. Especially in summer, it suggests mess, of the organised variety. I love your recipe because like you I am fond of both corn and tomatoes, especially when the latter are really ripe and red.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks.
Greetings from London.
hey willow, as the chief cook in a house where one half of the family - split by gender - is veggie and the other half omnivorous, recipes like this are gold. thanks!!! steven
ReplyDeleteSounds tasty.
ReplyDeleteJust read the DNA genealogy post, I had mine tested (my maternal female line) and it was worth doing.
What a gorgeous photograph! The recipe sounds wonderful. It won't be that long before the ingredients will be locally available in NE Ohio. Some even from my garden.
ReplyDeleteNothing beats the Jet Star tomatoes from my garden, which won't be ripe until later in July, but when they are, they are so a part of this recipe!
ReplyDeletei love these two veggies combined as well. this one, i have to try!!! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMy tomatoes are coming on big and strong and without blemishes but they are still green. We have no corn but I do like the dish you have the recipe for.
ReplyDeleteyummo !
ReplyDeletei am doing this tonight.
xx
That sounds like a scrumptious dish. A definite one I'll have to try.
ReplyDeleteOne Hundred Per Cent
ReplyDeleteSUMMER!
(this recipe goes to my
personal chef ... . aka Husband)
Jjjjj
I'm going to guess that scallions are the UK's spring onions and I'm not going to guess - I'm going to guarantee that I'll be doing this recipe - I love corn and tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteThanks W
I'm so glad to have something new to add to my BBQ side dish repertoire! There is nothing more delicious and summery than fresh corn. Lovely yummy colors, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hot here; I can't eat anything but salads (and ice cream, unfortunately).
BTW, I've got some lovely sweet peas running wild (as per the description of poetry). . . I was just taking some pics this morning.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty summer salad willow, I shall try it.
ReplyDeleteThis just shot to the top of my "Must Make Soon" list. Like you, I adore corn and tomatoes.

Yummy. I love cool dishes in the Summer. Pappy
ReplyDeleteOoh, that looks like a really giraffey recipe, Willow! We will try it out here - even the colours look necky!
ReplyDeleteNo need to say what I think..hummmmmmmm!!!!!:D
ReplyDeleteGood and simple and summery...will only be waiting for the local corn to try this! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOoh, DMJ would love this - anything with corn in it and we're still having salads here, one month into Winter!
ReplyDeleteWillow, thanks for this recipe, I'm not much of a cook, and it sounds easy and delish, so I'm definitely going to try it out tonight! - Amy
ReplyDeleteSounds tasty and it's a simple one. Thanks!
ReplyDeletejust tonight we had something very similar for dinner - fresh tomatoes and corn tossed with fresh zucchini and yellow squash in with a bowl of orzo - delicioso! thanks for sharing yours - jenean
ReplyDeleteOh, yum--yes--I could eat bowls of that! I just got home from a work event and I'd much rather have been home eating this!! I'll have to make this one, too.
ReplyDeleteI agree..it's very yummy. It's going to be a great side dish with any summer entree!
ReplyDeleteWillow that is part of my favorite things, I also have to add olives.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great - tasty and easy! it is good to be back visiting after my trip away. Have you seen The reader? I first read the book; now the movie on the airplane back from Europe. Thought Kate was amazing. She even moved with the heaviness of someone accustomed to hard work.
ReplyDeleteThis looks soooo....good, I have to try it. Love your blog...so glad I found it.
ReplyDeleteMUST MUST MUST try this one!!! Looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteWillow, I've been 'un'-public for a few days, but my blog will go public again soon. Having to do some changes, removal of pictures, and etc. I have really missed everyone!!
Oh, and I'm changing name to Boomer. More me, even though I'm bfs AND Mimi. :-)
Hope you've been having a great week so far. And I love your glasses on the sidebar--new picture!!
Copied and pasted recipe into online cookbook. Looks terrific--all ingredients rank in my top ten, so it has to be good!
