Corn Boats with Zucchini and Pepper Jack Cheese image

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ears corn, unhusked
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium zucchini, cut into 1/3-inch dice
1 cup finely chopped red onion
1 cup coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese with hot peppers
2 tablespoons finely crushed corn tortilla chips

Steps:

  • Pull a lengthwise strip of corn husk (about 1 to 1 1/2 inches wide) from each ear to expose a strip of kernels and discard husk strip. Carefully peel back remaining husks, keeping them attached to stem ends, and snap ears from stem ends. Discard silk from husks. Tear a thin strip from a tender, inner piece of each husk and use it to tie loose end of each husk together, forming a boat. Cut corn kernels from ears and discard cobs.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté zucchini, stirring occasionally, until browned lightly and just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer zucchini with slotted spoon to a bowl and season with salt.
  • In oil remaining in skillet sauté corn kernels and onion with salt to taste over moderately high heat, stirring, 4 minutes and cook, covered, over low heat until corn is crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn mixture to zucchini and season with salt.
  • Cool filling and stir in cheese. Spoon filling into husk boats. (Corn boats may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and kept chilled, covered.)
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Arrange boats on a baking sheet and sprinkle filling with tortilla crumbs. Bake boats in upper third of oven until cheese is melted and filling is heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve corn boats warm or at room temperature.

I thought these corn boats were just okay. They were a little dry and the flavor was a bit bland.

These corn boats were a little too cheesy for my taste, but they were still pretty good.

I thought these corn boats were just okay. The filling was a little bland and the corn was a bit tough.
