Yield Makes 12 (3/4-cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Two 6-inch corn tortillas
1 poblano chile
3 cups corn kernels, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 cups 2-percent milk
1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons masa harina de maiz (see tip, below)
1 teaspoon sugar

  • Using tongs, hold poblano over stovetop burner on high heat, turning frequently, until blackened all over, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, roast under broiler, turning and watching carefully.) Place in medium bowl, cover with plate, and let steam until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Using paper towels, wipe away charred skin. Cut out and discard stem and core. Halve pepper lengthwise, scrape out seeds, and dice half pepper, reserving remainder for another use. Set aside diced pepper.
  • In food processor, purée 2 1/2 cups corn and 1/2 cup milk until smooth. Set aside.

INDIAN CORN PUDDING



Indian Corn Pudding image

I had never tried Indian Corn Pudding before I went up to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center here in Albuquerque. This is another of Richard Hetzler's creations. I rarely, if ever eat eggs or dairy, but wanted to try a little taste. It was good, but I think I would like the corn to be a bit crunchier as I found it kind of chewy. If I did make this I would make it Vegan. Please note, I didn't include the grilling time for the corn in this recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ears corn (grilled, kernals removed)
1 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
2 teaspoons honey
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 teaspoons garlic (fine chopped)

Steps:

  • Clean the corn and grill. Test the kernels making sure they are cooked.
  • Then let it cool and remove the kernels from the cob.
  • Take 1/2 the corn kernels and place them in the heavy cream with the chopped thyme, honey and garlic. Puree with a hand blender.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Corn: Use fresh corn kernels for the best flavor and texture. If fresh corn is unavailable, frozen or canned corn can be used, but the taste may be slightly different.
  • Use High-Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your corn pudding. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Corn: Corn pudding should be cooked until it is just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked corn pudding will be dry and tough.
  • Season to Taste: Season the corn pudding to your liking. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  • Add Optional Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients to your corn pudding, such as chopped bell peppers, onions, or jalapeños.
  • Serve Warm: Corn pudding is best served warm, right out of the oven. It can also be served at room temperature.
