Cooking with tomato

Maque Choux is a typical cajun vegetable dish. It is normally prepared with fresh corn but I still loved it when I prepare it with a leftover local corn on the cob. It makes a nice accompaniment for chicken, pork or shrimp and one can also add cooked chicken and serve it as a main dish.
