Fresh Corn, Pancetta & Chives + Tropical Sorbet Quick Fix in the Mix

[judydawn]

These reviews from CreamPuff63 were hidden in another thread so I would not be able to link them to the list unless they had a posting of their own.  Here's CP's comments.

The  Fresh Corn, Pancetta & Chives  p78 gets a big tick for tastiness and ease. Serves 4 apparently but it sounds like Alyce doesn't have a son with hollow legs so tonight it served just 3.

Tropical Sorbet p198 was smooth like icecream and a guilt free dessert cos there was no added sugar (100% frozen fresh fruit). There was only 3 people  eating tonight and there was stacks of this left over so I've put into ice cube trays for another night.

No worries CP - they are now both posted on the recipe book review list under separate headings and will be easily found.

I must agree.

We loved the Fresh Corn, Pancetta & Chives recipe.  It made 4 serves here but then we don't have huge serves of anything.  When I do it again, I'll cook it a few minutes less to keep the corn more intact but it is a great little recipe.  The pancetta really tops it off as pancetta has a habit of doing. Only change I made was to chop the onion 2 sec/speed 5 and not 5 seconds.

Yum can't wait for the book, this will go down so well in my house

That does look nice JD 

Your book still hasn't arrived Hally?   
Do you know if it's coming via mail or courier?  If courier perhaps it could be chased up?
Hope it arrives soon and you can get cooking!!

This was yum.
I used 8 cobs (were smaller, = 520g)......Bought a chunk of pancetta, and doubled amount and diced it.
Cooked 15 mins., used 2 sping onions, left out chives ( didn't have any)...but don't think it made much difference.

Good to hear it does cook in 15 minutes maddy - will definitely change my time now.

We really enjoyed this and will make again.  We cooked it for less time as we like the texture of corn, used bacon instead of pancetta, left out the chives as we didn't have any and also halved the recipe.  There was plenty for the 3 of us.

We also enjoyed this very easy side dish.

Great,  made this twice in 2 days.  Some left over so made corn cakes,  and served them with light sour cream and sweet chilling sauce.

We really enjoyed this side dish. It made 6 servings for us. Only chopped the onions for 2 secs on speed 5, the rest as per recipe. I like Chookies suggestion of corn cakes - will do that next time with the left overs.

I made this dish again and only cooked it for the 15 mins as suggested. I liked it better when it was cooked for the 20 mins as per the recipe. With 20 mins the corn was a little drier and more buttery flavour. Family loved it. No left overs for corn fritters
