Let me see if I can explain this, I posted 2 recipes and they are a little different and I also included some variations at the bottom on the last recipe. One recipe is on the left side and another on the right. Read more The photo is of the recipe on the left. If you have any problems , just ask. "A common Creole dish that can be served as a side dish to any combination of meat and potatoes, pasta, or rice dishes. A flavorful complement. Prep time depend on whether or not you chop your own seasonings or use frozen pre-chopped seasonings. Cook time depends on how long it takes to prepare and cook the rest of the meal. Number of servings depends on how much everybody likes it." I might also I have never made this with celery, you can omit all the chopping and use a can of rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Some people serve it with diced bacon, a shrimp main dish and whatever you may come up with See less

How to make it
- Recipe: Maque Choux - Corn and Tomatoes
- ©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
- Prep time: 5 min |Cook time: 10 min | Yield: About 4 servings
- Ingredients
- •2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- •1/4 cup of chopped onion
- •1/4 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- •1 (15 ounce) can of whole kernel corn, drained
- •1/4 teaspoon of dried basil
- •Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- •1 large tomato, peeled and chopped
- •2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, optional
- Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet and saute the onion and bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the corn, cover and cook on low for 10 minutes. Stir in the tomato and sugar, cover and continue cooking another 5 minutes.
- Cook's Notes: When fresh corn is in season, substitute about 2 medium to large sized ears. Use the no-husk microwave method to pre-cook it, or allow time for the raw corn to cook in the skillet. Can substitute 1 (10 ounce) package of frozen corn and/or one (15 ounce) can of diced tomatoes, drained. I didn't peel my tomato, and while I did find a few curls of tomato skin it wasn't too troublesome for us. For variety, saute 2 slices of bacon, cut up until tender, then saute the veggies in the bacon drippings. Add butter at the end if desired.
- Chop up a large tomato. I would recommend peeling it just so that you avoid those inevitable little twirls of tough and often inedible tomato skin that interfere with the enjoyment of a tomato dish. I have discovered the soft skin peeler, and is it one of my most favorite kitchen gadgets. It works like a charm without all that hassle of having to boil the skins off. If you enjoy tomatoes like I do, then you really should get one of these. Great for other soft skin fruits like peaches too.
- Some options:
- Crawfish Maque Choux: Add one pound of crawfish tails, with any fats, with the corn.
- Okra, Corn and Tomatoes Variation: Saute 2 cups of frozen okra in with the veggies, add remaining ingredients and proceed.
