Trader Joe’s Rants & Raves (mostly raves, a few rants)

Ingredients: Corn

Yup, that’s it, this has one ingredient. Just Corn. But what they’ve done to it here, is this has been “FIRE ROASTED”. In other works cooked enough to get a few almost burnt bits. In my picture below as you can see, its gotten a tiny bit blackened from the fire roasting. This of course is the famouse “Maillard” reaction food gets from cooking which concentrates and amplifies flavor. In this case it makes this corn taste even better for example than TJ’s regular frozen corn — which is still also great by the way (and costs a bit less).

You can make this fire roasted corn just on its own. It was delicious when I simply sautéed it in butter to make a simple side dish. If you want to get fancy, hit that with a squeeze of lime juice too!

Naturally this corn is fantastic used as an ingredient as well. For example, add some to corn bread. Add it to salsas, to soups, stews and of course any Mexican dish, like some Mexican style rice. Its great for that.

This Fire Roasted Corn is great to have on hand in the freezer. It’s $1.99 $2.49 NOW $2.79 !(1 lb).

It’s worth trying.

I would buy it again.
