• While beans simmer, place bacon slices in a large cast-iron skillet over medium. Cook until crisp, about 8 minutes, turning once after 5 minutes. Transfer bacon to paper towels; crumble and set aside. Reserve drippings in skillet.
• Add chopped onion, fresh okra, and garlic to skillet over medium, and cook, stirring often, until onion is just tender, about 6 minutes. Stir in fresh corn kernels, salt, pepper, and drained beans, and cook, stirring often, until corn is tender and bright yellow, 5 to 6 minutes. Add butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.

PAN SEARED PACIFIC COD WITH CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE AND CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine cilantro, garlic, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking to incorporate all the ingredients. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper, if necessary, and set aside.
• For the fish: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet placed over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, sear the cod for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Once the butter has melted, flip the cod and finish cooking it on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more, or until just cooked through.
• To plate: Place a spoonful of Creamed Corn onto a plate. Set a piece of fish over the corn and spoon over the cilantro vinaigrette.
• In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and corn milk to the pan, as well as the garlic. Season the corn with salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the cream has reduced, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully transfer half of the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add the pureed portion back to the pan and place over heat to warm through. Season the creamed corn with salt and pepper.

SWEET CORN SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• In a medium size skillet, heat up the olive oil on high heat and sear the scallops for approximately 2 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
• Using a sharp knife cut the corn kernels off of the cob and put through a vegetable juicer. Place the corn juice into a small saucepot and bring to a simmer. Cook the corn sauce until it starts to thicken. Set aside and keep warm.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Add the shallots and saute until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and saute until heated through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the Sauteed vegetables into a medium-size mixing bowl and toss with the warmed sweet corn sauce and chervil. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, place the succotash in the center of the plate, top with a few seared scallops, and drizzle some of the corn sauce around the plate.

SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn until lightly charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then cut off the kernels and reserve.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sweat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the lima beans and tomatoes and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the reserved corn to the saute pan. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and mayonnaise. Add the mixture to the succotash along with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl.

NORTH ATLANTIC PAN SEARED COD WITH NEW ENGLAND SUCCOTASH AND CRANBERRY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the bacon and dried cranberries and set aside. Drain and rinse beans and set aside. Drain the corn, if necessary.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and milk together. Add the corn, beans, chopped bacon and cranberries and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium low and cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Season mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove from heat, loosely cover and set aside until ready to serve.
• While succotash is cooking, prepare the dressing. If you are very short on time, substitute store bought cranberry vinaigrette and add 1 tablespoon horseradish.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade, combine all ingredients except for salt and pepper. Pulse ingredients until cranberries are roughly chopped and dressing is emulsified. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside until ready assemble plates.
• Rinse and pat fillets dry. Combine the flour and salt and pepper in a shallow dish. Coat fish on all sides with seasoned flour, shaking off the excess and set fillets aside.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter and olive oil. Heat melted mixture until hot but not browned and place the fish in the skillet, leaving space between the fillets. Cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side and turn fillets over carefully. Continue cooking until flesh is firm and no longer opaque, about 5 more minutes. Remove fillets to a plate and set aside.
• While fish is cooking, slice the tomatoes in half and assemble plates. Evenly distribute arugula among 5 plates and arrange in a small mound. When fish is cooked, lean the cod fillet against the arugula and place a scant cup of succotash on the plate touching both the fish and arugula. Drizzle 2 tablespoons cranberry vinaigrette over arugula and succotash and top greens with 6 tomato halves per plate.
• Enjoy!

SAUTEED COD WITH CREAMED CORN AND SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• For succotash:
• Cook beans in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon or strainer, transfer beans to colander; reserve cooking water. Rinse beans with cold water. If using fava beans, peel off outer skins and discard. Add corn kernels to reserved cooking water and cook until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain. Return beans and corn to same saucepan. Mix in tomato, Italian parsley and extra-virgin olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand covered at room temperature. Rewarm over low heat before serving.)
• For creamed corn:
• Place 4 cups corn kernels in processor. Puree until liquid is released from corn, about 3 minutes (mixture will still be coarse). Transfer pureed corn to strainer set over large measuring cup. Press on solids in strainer to extract at least 3/4 cup juice; discard solids. Transfer corn juice to medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat just until juice begins to thicken, about 45 seconds (do not boil or juice may curdle). Add remaining 3 cups corn kernels and whipping cream to saucepan and stir just until corn is heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove creamed corn from heat; cover to keep warm.
• Pour enough vegetable oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1/4 inch. Heat over high heat. Sprinkle cod fillets with salt and pepper. Add fillets to skillet and cook until golden brown and center of each fillet is just opaque, about 4 minutes per side. Divide creamed corn equally among 4 plates. Top each serving with sautéed cod fillet. Spoon succotash atop each fillet and serve.
