SOUTHWESTERN PAN SEARED CORN



Southwestern Pan Seared Corn image

I light, tasty side dish that goes well with bbq ribs or chicken. If you can't find poblano peppers (find them spicy, but other people say they are not), you can use jalapeno or cubano, but mince rather than dice them, and use 1/2 the amount or to taste; or just leave out.

PAN-ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD



Pan-Roasted Corn and Tomato Salad image

You can take a corn and tomato salad in a number of directions, but at the end of the day it shouldn't be much more than a dish you can make perfectly only in mid- to late summer, and one that showcases its primary ingredients. My version here marries corn and tomatoes with chile, avocado, cilantro and lime. It is just plain good. At the end, you've got meaty smokiness from bacon; that incredible sweetness of corn; the fruity acidity of tomato; the tender, smooth fattiness of avocado, and the sharpness of chile. It's a summer winner, one that you shouldn't even try after the first frost.

Categories     easy, quick, one pot, side dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
4 to 6 ears corn, stripped of their kernels (2 to 3 cups)
Juice of 1 lime, or more to taste
2 cups cored and chopped tomatoes
1 medium ripe avocado, pitted, peeled and chopped
2 fresh small chilies, like Thai, seeded and minced
Salt
black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, more or less

Steps:

Continue cooking, stirring or shaking pan occasionally, until corn begins to brown a bit, about 5 more minutes; remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes. Drain fat if you wish.
  • Put lime juice in a large bowl and add bacon-corn mixture; then toss with remaining ingredients. Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve warm or at room temperature.
