2 cups (240 grams) plain fine yellow cornmeal
1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon (15 grams) baking powder
2 teaspoons (6 grams) kosher salt
2¼ cups (255 grams) shredded smoked white Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup (154 grams) fresh yellow corn kernels (about 2 ears corn)
½ cup (14 grams) finely sliced fresh basil leaves
¼ cup (40 grams) diced seeded jalapeño
1¾ cups (420 grams) whole buttermilk
6 tablespoons (84 grams) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs (100 grams)
2 tablespoons (24 grams) granulated sugar
Garnish: fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with parchment paper. Spray parchment and sides of skillet with cooking spray. Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
  • On prepared pan, place tomato slices.

CORNBREAD TAMALE PIE



Cornbread Tamale Pie image

This recipe came to The Times in a 2006 magazine article about the 75th anniversary edition of The Joy of Cooking, the soup-to-nuts cookbook found on practically every home cook's shelf since its first publication in 1931. Like many of the book's beloved recipes, this dish is a crowd-pleasing, homespun classic that is incredibly simple to put together. First, make a quick chili of beef, black beans, corn, green pepper and onion seasoned with chile power and cumin. Spread that in a baking dish, top with a simple cornbread batter and pop it into the oven. In about a half hour: tamale pie. Serve with hot sauce, a dollop of sour cream and a few slices of avocado. If you're trying to eat less red meat, ground turkey or chicken would make a fine substitute for the beef.

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
1 cup corn, drained, canned or frozen (thawed if frozen)
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup beef or chicken broth
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper, optional
1 tablespoon chile powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Grease a 3-quart high-sided casserole dish with cooking spray. In a large skillet, saute the beef and onion over medium-high heat until the meat is brown and the onion translucent, about 10 minutes. Then add the beans, corn, tomato sauce, broth, bell pepper (if using), chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and teaspoon salt. In a small bowl whisk together the egg, milk and oil until combined. Whisk the milk mixture into the flour mixture until combined. Spread the meat mixture into the casserole dish and cover with the corn bread topping. The topping will disappear into the meat mixture but will rise during baking and form a layer of corn bread. Bake until the corn bread is brown, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are meaty and have fewer seeds.
  • Don't overcook the cornbread. It should be slightly moist in the center.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. This will help the cornbread cook evenly and give it a nice crust.
  • Serve the cornbread warm with butter and honey. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for a tangy flavor.

Conclusion:

Tomato cornbread bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh tomatoes and corn, and it is a hearty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
