Cup Aelotes From Sandwich King Recipes

CUP A'ELOTES

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the corn with canola oil. Grill the corn until slightly charred, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes total. Set aside to cool.
• Cut the kernels off of the cob and place into a bowl. Add the cotija cheese, Poblano Crema and cilantro and mix. Season with salt and pepper. Put into 6 individual cups and garnish with additional chopped cilantro.
• Peel, stem and seed the poblanos. Place in food processor and pulse until smooth. Add the Mexican crema, agave and lime juice, and season with salt and pepper. Pulse until just combined. Scoop into a bowl and spread on everything.

CLASSIC ITALIAN SUB WITH ROASTED EGGPLANT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lay the eggplant slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and brush liberally with the Homemade Italian Dressing. Roast in the oven until cooked through and golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Build the sandwich on the rolls with the mozzarella first, then the salami, capicola, prosciutto, mortadella, roasted eggplant and top with the lettuce, tomato and a generous drizzle of the Homemade Italian Dressing. Serve while blasting Louis Prima.
• Place the vinegar, mustard, sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic and shallots in a blender or food processor. While the machine is running, slowly drizzle the olive oil through the blender top or feed tube until the dressing is combined and emulsified. Adjust the seasoning if necessary; add more oil if you want it less acidic. Store the dressing up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
