Fried corn is a simple yet incredibly aromatic dish that comes from European cuisine. Its roots trace back to rural culinary traditions where corn was roasted over an open fire, giving it a rich, caramelized flavor. In this recipe, corn is combined with onion, garlic, and red bell pepper that complement its delicate sweetness with savory notes. Added cumin gives the dish depth and a hint of Eastern spice. The golden kernels are slightly crispy and infused with spice aromas, making them perfect as a side dish for meat or fish or even as a standalone meal. It can be served warm or chilled, adding fresh herbs for a contrast in flavor. This versatile treat is easy to prepare and pleasantly surprises guests with its rich taste.
