Oven-Baked Spiced Corn

Welcome back!

Today, we have a quick recipe to enhance something very simple: corn! This method of preparing corn is inspired by the viral dish, "corn ribs", but it's really not anything too complicated, consisting primarily of just a seasoning rub over the corn. The interesting component to this dish is how the corn sort of curls when cooked because of being quartered the way it is.

Oven-Baked Spiced Corn

Ingredients:

2 ears corn
1 tablespoon melted butter/oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of cayenne (optional)

Directions:

Cut the corn into quarters to create four long strips. This will be easier if you cut the corn in half first, giving you eight shorter strips.
Mix the melted butter/oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne together in a bowl.
Rub this mixture on the corn.
Bake in the oven at 425°F for 10-12 minutes. For an oven like ours with an air-fry setting, you could air-fry it at 400°F for about 10 minutes.

Honestly, there's just something fun about eating corn like this, with the shape resembling those of a rib. And even though many other preparations of this dish call for quartering the whole ear of corn (instead of half), where do you ever find ribs that are that long? We believe that halving the ears actually makes everything easier, even if the full-length corn curves nicer.

Fig Crème Fraîche Cake

Welcome back! Today, we have a cake featuring an interesting fruit: the fig! Figs are typically eaten dried or in some processed form because they don't stay fresh for long, so making this dish out of fresh figs was quite nice. Once completed, the fig flavor blends in very well with the rest of the cake and creates a dessert that is flavorful but not overly rich.

Instant Pot Leg of Lamb

Welcome back! Today, we have another lamb recipe, this time for a different cut. It has the similar lamb flavor and also features the key ingredient of rosemary, but this recipe works nicely as a stew, so it's rather different from the other two. Fun fact, Greece is the top consumer of sheep meet per capita in the world, which makes sense as lamb is a common Mediterranean meat. Rosemary also originates from the Mediterranean, so it's a perfect combination! Instant Pot Leg of Lamb Makes 4 servings Ingredients: 4-5 pounds lamb leg (boneless) 1 onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 sprigs of rosemary and thyme, chopped Salt and pepper to taste 1 1/2 cup total of chicken stock and/or water (we used 1 cup chicken stock and 1/2 cup dry white wine) Other vegetables: potatoes, carrots, zucchini 2 tablespoons cornstarch A little water Directions: Dry the lamb with a paper towel.
