CORN AND BLACK BEAN SAUCE



Corn and Black Bean Sauce image

Adopted! Original poster's comments: We love this colourful sauce, which is actually more like a salsa to potatoes with sour cream and fish or chicken. But basically this sauce comes into our meals whenever I want something without fuss, that is colourful and great tasting. QDM: I think I would roast the garlic and drain and roast the corn before using it, but that is personal taste...

Mexican Street Corn Pasta image

This Mexican street corn pasta is THE BEST! It's full of cherry tomatoes, black beans, sweet corn, a little bacon, and a deliciously creamy sauce.

Provided by Kristen Stevens

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 ounces dry pasta (gluten-free, if needed)
4 strips bacon
3 cups corn ((see notes))
4 green onions (chopped (Greens and whites separate))
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
15 ounce can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cups cherry tomato halves
½ cup sour cream
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ cup chopped cilantro
½ cup crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese
¼ cup lime juice

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water then drain the pasta. Return the pasta to the pot and toss with a little olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
  • While the pasta is cooking, cook the bacon in a large frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and crumble when it's cool enough to touch.
  • Remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon oil from the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high then add the corn and stir so that it is coated in the oil then let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until some of the kernels become golden on the bottom. Add the white and light green parts of the green onions, chili powder, pepper, and salt to the pan and stir.
  • Add the black beans and cherry tomatoes to the pan and cook until they're warm. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise and stir until warm, about 1 minute.
  • Add the corn sauce to the pot with the pasta and add the cilantro, cheese, and lime juice. Stir well then season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed. If the pasta seems a little too thick, use some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
