How to Make Maque Choux

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 chopped bell pepper (any color), 2 minced cloves garlic, and 1-2 finely chopped jalapeño peppers (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Stir in 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels, 1 (14.5 ounce) can of diced tomatoes (undrained), and 1-2 teaspoons of Creole seasoning (to taste).
  3. Reduce the heat to low, cover the Dutch oven, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and the flavors have melded.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot as a side dish or topping for your favorite protein.
