Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1.5 cups sweet corn kernels
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 jalapenos , chopped (or any variety of chili)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
salt (to taste)
chili flakes (to taste)

Steps:

  • First of all select freshly harvested tender corn. If sweet corn is not available you can very well use Indian yellow corn..
  • Remove the husks and shuck the corn kernels off the cob. As far as possible try to get the kernels whole. You can firmly hold the sweet corn on a flat surface and a use a sharp knife to shuck the kernels.
  • Boil the corn kernels for 4-5 minutes in salted water. Drain and set aside
  • Chop tomatoes, onions, green chilies, bell peppers finely. I have not chopped them very finely as we don't prefer it that way. You can use a food processor to chop the veggies very finely too.
  • Into a mixing bowl tip all the chopped veggies and add prepped corn kernels. Mix well.
  • Add salt, ground cumin, pepper powder, chopped cilantro leaves, some chili flakes and lemon juice. Mix well.
  • Let corn salsa sit for 30 minutes before serving for flavors to mingle.

CORN PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Corn Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon coriander seeds, crushed
2 large cloves garlic, grated
3 cups frozen corn, defrosted and drained
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
6 scallions, both green and white parts, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes (not in oil), coarsely chopped
1 pound penne pasta
4 sprigs fresh basil, stemmed
Freshly ground black pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan

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.

SWEET AND MILD COOKED TOMATO SALSA

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 small red onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
Juice of 2 limes
4 red or green jalapeño chiles, seeded and finely chopped
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 cup fresh or frozen (thawed) corn kernels
1 cup chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place the chopped onion in a bowl, sprinkle with the salt, squeeze the lime juice over, and set aside for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the chopped chiles, tomatoes, corn, and cilantro to the onion mixture, and stir. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Fresh, sweet corn on the cob is best for this salsa. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Roast the corn: Roasting the corn brings out its natural sweetness and smokiness. You can roast the corn in the oven or on the grill.
  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The sun-dried tomatoes in this salsa add a concentrated burst of flavor. Make sure to use sun-dried tomatoes that are soft and pliable, not hard and brittle.
  • Chop the ingredients finely: This will help the salsa to come together and make it easier to eat.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, pepper, and lime juice you add to the salsa will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

This sweet corn and sun-dried tomato salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment. It's perfect for serving with grilled fish, chicken, or tacos. It can also be used as a dip for chips or vegetables. The salsa is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, making it a healthy addition to any meal.
