Print Recipe

Maque Choux with Sausage Corn is a flavorful Louisiana dish featuring sweet corn, smoky sausage, and tender vegetables sautéed together to create a comforting, slightly spicy side or main course.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn, kernels removed (or 4 cups frozen corn)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in the corn kernels and diced tomatoes, then pour in the chicken broth.
  6. Add smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until the corn is tender.
  8. Stir in the butter and cooked sausage, cooking another 2 minutes to let flavors meld.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then serve warm.

Notes

For a creamier version, stir in a splash of heavy cream or a few tablespoons of grated cheese before serving.
