Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Add the tomatoes, corn, poblano, onions and garlic cloves to the prepared baking sheet. Toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, flip the poblano and corn over and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, until charred and the tomatoes have softened and begun to split. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Peel the garlic. Remove the skin and stem from the poblano (remove the seeds, too, for a milder salsa).
- Add the roasted tomatoes, poblano, onions and garlic to a food processor, along with the cilantro, jalapeno, coriander, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture is evenly combined but still has some texture (similar to crushed canned tomatoes). Remove to a bowl.
- Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and stir into the salsa. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lime juice.
- Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to serve (see Cook's Note). Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coriander and garlic and let it toast until you smell it, 30 to 45 seconds. Add half of the corn and cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Add the sugar, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the cream reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. If the corn is "stringy" or the sauce grainy, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer the sauce to a large skillet and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Keep warm.
- In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The pasta water should taste like sea water. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting), 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve a little of the pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later, then drain the pasta in a colander.
- Toss the pasta in the skillet with the sauce and remaining corn. Add some basil leaves and salt and pepper. Scoop into bowls and top with Parmesan and more basil leaves.
GRILLED TOMATO WITH FRESH CORN
Grilling the tomatoes and corn makes this side dish feel special and it's so simple to do. I like to serve it with French bread, but it's "killer" dished up on its own. -Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

Steps:
- Special Equipment: A pastry bag and a large closed star tip (we used size 845 tips); deep-fry thermometer.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Toast cascabel until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chiles from baking sheet, let cool.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°. Roast tomatoes, fresnos and onion on a clean rimmed baking sheet until skin is browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add garlic, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons salt; blend until smooth. Add cascabel and blend until coarsely chopped. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and continue to cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, gradually add both cheeses, and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is completely melted and queso is smooth. If it seems too thick, stir in a little more milk. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Do Ahead: Salsa and queso can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill speperately. Bring salsa room temperature before serving; warm queso until smooth and creamy.
- Fit pastry bag with star tip. Whisk chili powder and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Bring milk, butter, cumin, 1¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, add flour and cornmeal in one go, and vigorously mix until dough comes together, about 30 seconds. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, add eggs to dough, one at a time, making sure to incorporate each egg before adding the next (alternatively, stir vigorously with a wooden spoon). Dough will look broken at first; continue to beat, scraping bowl occasionally, until dough is smooth, glossy, and somewhat stretchy (pull off a small piece of dough and stretch it-it shouldn't break). Spoon dough into prepared pastry bag.
- Pour oil into a large pot to come halfway up the sides. Fit pot with thermometer and heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°. Holding bag at an angle so tip is a few inches above surface of oil, squeeze out dough, moving the bag as you squeeze so dough is piped in a 6" length into oil. Using a paring knife, cut off dough at the tip to release into oil. Repeat process to make 4 more dough lengths. Fry churros, turning once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil temperature, until golden brown on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Sprinkle warm churros with reserved chili-salt mixture mixture. Dollop salsa over warm queso and swirl to combine; serve with warm churros.

RISOTTO WITH TOMATOES AND CORN
This colorful risotto serves as a luxurious showcase for summer's bounty of tomatoes and corn. This is about as colorful and summery a risotto as you can get. The tomatoes and broth team up as a rich medium for the rice. Don't add the corn too soon, or it will develop a starchy texture like the rice. But cook it long enough to bring out its sweet flavor. Simmer the corn cobs for about 20 minutes in your broth to get a great sweet corn flavor.

Steps:
- Remove corn kernels from cobs and set aside the kernels. Simmer the cobs in stock for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from stock and discard. Make sure your stock is well seasoned. Bring back to a simmer over low heat, with a ladle nearby or in the pot.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a wide, heavy skillet or a wide, heavy saucepan. Add onion and a generous pinch of salt, and cook gently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and rice and cook, stirring, until grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle, a minute or two. Stir in tomatoes, sugar and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until tomatoes have cooked down slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add wine and stir until it has evaporated and has been absorbed by the rice. Begin adding simmering stock, a couple of ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. Stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly but not too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until it is just about absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock and continue to cook in this fashion, adding more stock and stirring when rice is almost dry. You do not have to stir continually, but stir often and vigorously. After 10 minutes, add corn and continue for another 10 to 15 minutes. When rice is just tender all the way through but still chewy (al dente), in 20 to 25 minutes, it is done. Taste now and adjust seasoning.
- Add another ladleful of stock to rice. Stir in basil (or basil, parsley and chives) and Parmesan and remove from heat. The mix should be creamy (add more stock if it sn't). Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than a mound.

Tips:
- Select the Right Corn: Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob with plump kernels and bright green husks. Avoid corn that is dried out or has blemishes.
- Roast the Corn: Roasting the corn adds a smoky, caramelized flavor that enhances the overall taste of the queso. Ensure the corn is evenly roasted to achieve a slightly charred exterior and tender, juicy interior.
- Char the Tomatoes: Charring the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. You can char tomatoes over an open flame, in a grill pan, or under a broiler until they are slightly blackened and softened.
- Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic adds a pungent, aromatic flavor. Mince or grate the garlic finely to release its flavor fully.
- Choose a Quality Cheese Blend: The type of cheese you use significantly impacts the flavor of the queso. Use a combination of cheeses that melt well together, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
- Season to Taste: Adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add more chili powder for a spicier queso or more cumin for a smokier flavor. Taste the queso as you go and make adjustments until you achieve the desired taste.
- Serve with Fresh Accoutrements: Serve the queso with a variety of fresh toppings such as chopped cilantro, diced avocado, crumbled cotija cheese, and sour cream. These toppings add freshness, texture, and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
Roasted Corn, Tomato, and Garlic Queso is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, dip, or main course. With its combination of roasted corn, charred tomatoes, and melted cheese, this queso is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
