Grilled Corn

Vegetables

Ingredients

6 ears fresh corn

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 tsp fresh ground black pepper

3/4 tsp poultry seasoning

Instructions

Peel back the husks of the corn, but do not remove. Remove all of the corn silk. Using a pastry brush, coat the corn kernels with the softened butter.

Combine the salt, pepper and Creole seasoning and sprinkle it evenly on the corn. Replace the husks to their natural position. Tear six 3-inch by 6-inch pieces of aluminum foil and wrap around the corn.

Prepare the grill. Cook the corn on direct medium heat for 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. Remove from the grill. Remove the husks and serve immediately, or hold in a 180 degree oven until needed.

Baked Potato Quiche

I call this recipe “Comfort quiche.” It’s perfect for a cold December evening. The great thing about quiche is that it can be prepared in advance and held cold in the refrigerator or frozen up to a couple of weeks. When the holidays are hectic and the house is crowded, this quiche is perfect as a lap meal in front of the fireplace served alongside a light salad.

Braised Beef Short Ribs with Smoked Gouda Grits

I am a huge fan of short rib entrees. They work especially well for large dinners as the doneness is all the same and no one has to worry about who prefers rare and who prefers medium. Plus, the bone acts as a conductor of heat, keeping it warm for longer. Smoked gouda adds depth and creaminess to grits. This version was created by Chef Nevil Barr, New South Restaurant Group’s Chief Culinary Officer. It’s made an appearance on the Crescent City Grill menu and we often use it for catering large groups (if multiplying the recipe for large groups, go easy on the salt and Creole seasoning, you can always add more at the end).
