Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ears fresh corn, unshucked
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 limes, zest finely grated
1 bunch fresh chervil, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound queso fresco, finely grated
1/4 cup Ancho Chile Rub, recipe follows, or cayenne pepper
3 ancho chiles, seeded and hand-torn into pieces
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
  • While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Spread the queso fresco onto another plate.
  • Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
  • For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

CORN WITH ROASTED CHILES, CREME FRAICHE, COTIJA CHEESE



Corn with Roasted Chiles, Creme Fraiche, Cotija Cheese image

Corn with roasted chiles, creme fraiche, and cotija cheese.

Provided by Nesto

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Corn

Time 1h14m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small poblano pepper
1 small serrano pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil
½ onion, thinly sliced, or to taste
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ears corn, shucked and kernels removed
1 roasted red pepper, diced
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup grated Cotija cheese

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut poblano and serrano peppers in 1/2 from top to bottom; remove stems, seeds, and ribs. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Dice peppers.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and serrano pepper; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add corn, red pepper, and poblano pepper. Saute until corn is tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season vegetable mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Stir lime juice, butter, creme fraiche, and cilantro into the vegetable mixture. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with Cotija cheese.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Look for fresh, plump ears of corn with tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with dry or missing kernels.
  • Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before roasting helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Use a high heat: Roasting the corn at a high temperature (400°F or higher) helps to caramelize the kernels and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
  • Rotate the corn: Rotate the corn every 10-15 minutes to ensure that it roasts evenly.
  • Brush with butter: Brush the corn with melted butter or chili-lime butter halfway through roasting to help keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Season to taste: Season the corn with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

Roasted corn with chili-lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make summer side dish. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this flavorful and healthy dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh corn, give this recipe a try!
