Time 3h40m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup low-fat yogurt
1 cup stone-ground cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 cups fresh corn
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow bell pepper, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and minced
2 small poblano peppers, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and minced
1 small onion, peeled and minced
6 poblano peppers, roasted, seeded, deveined, peeled and chopped
1 teaspoon minced fresh marjoram leaves
8 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place the yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth. Set aside to drain for 3 hours. This will become yogurt cheese. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Whisk in the cornmeal. Cook until creamy, about 25 minutes. Season with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a large cast-iron skillet until smoking. Add 2 1/2 cups of the corn. Dry roast, stirring constantly, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Brush the inside of 4 ramekins -- 3 inches in diameter, 4 inches tall -- with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the bottom of each with a thick layer of the cornmeal mixture. Add a layer of yellow bell peppers, a layer of the poblano peppers, a layer of dry roasted corn and a layer of yogurt cheese. Top with the remaining cornmeal. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Cook the onion in the remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the reserved dry-roasted corn, the remaining fresh corn, peppers, marjoram and broth. Simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and puree in a blender until smooth. Strain and ladle into 4 warmed soup bowls. Serve each with a timbale.

This chowder was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and it was not as thick as I would have liked. I probably won't make this again.
