"A savory twist on the traditional sweet version, with sweet corn and rice. My DH found this recipe in the local paper, it's from Donald Link, chef of Herbsaint in New Orleans. I always substitute whole brown rice for white, but either way these are quick and great for a side with breakfast or dinner , or all by themselves. Also easy with leftover rice"
