VERA CRUZ CORN

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 ears of corn, husked
Cooking spray, if using the grill
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
5 corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch slices (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
2 to 4 tablespoons Chipotle Aioli (recipe follows) or to taste
1 cup grated or crumbled queso fresco (about 4 ounces)
1 large egg yolk
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup canola oil
2 teaspoons minced chipotle in adobo sauce
Kosher salt to taste

Steps:

  • If grilling the corn, coat the grill grate with cooking spray and prepare a medium-high grill. Brush the corn with oil and place it on the grill. Cook, turning, until the corn is evenly cooked and browned in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. If boiling the corn, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn, cover, and remove from the heat. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well.
  • When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut it from the cob and set aside.
  • If using the tortillas, line a baking sheet or large plate with paper towels. In a large skillet, heat 1 cup of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmery and hot but not smoking. Add a handful or two of tortilla strips-they can be touching but not overlapping-and fry just until lightly browned around the edges, about 45 seconds. Transfer the strips to the paper towel-lined baking sheet, tossing and moving them around so they take on squiggly shapes as they cool and harden. Continue in batches until all the tortilla strips are fried, adding more oil to the pan if necessary. Set aside.
  • In a small, preferably ovenproof, skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the corn and tortillas, if using, and toss until warmed through. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper, or to taste. If necessary, transfer to a small, ovenproof dish.
  • Drizzle the aeoli on top and sprinkle with the cheese.
  • Place an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and turn the broiler to high. Place the skillet or dish under the broiler and cook until browned and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Watch carefully so it does not burn. Serve.
  • In the work bowl of a food processor, place the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic. Process until blended. With the food processor running, add the oil just a few drops at a time. When the mixture begins to resemble mayonnaise (this will take a while because you're adding the oil so slowly), pour in the remaining oil in a very fine, slow stream.
  • If making the aioli to be drizzled over Vera Cruz corn or a salad, thin it if necessary by adding water 1 tablespoon at a time until it is pourable. If using as a condiment to be spread or dolloped, it may not need any thinning.
  • Add the chipotle and process until well blended. Add several pinches of salt to taste. Use at once or store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

VERACRUZ CORN



VeraCruz Corn image

One bite and you'll know why this sweet and spicy corn is one of the most popular dishes at my Beso restaurants. The smoky Chipotle Aïoli (page 162) was created especially for this and it absolutely makes the dish. You can pour it on heavy, like they do at the restaurant, or pour it on lighter, like I do here, but don't skip it! The optional tortilla strips add crunch and heft. To cook the corn, grill or boil it.

4 ears of corn, husked
Cooking spray, if using the grill
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, plus more as needed
5 corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch slices (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped

  • Queso fresco, or "fresh cheese," is a mild, salty cheese used widely in Mexican cooking. It has a crumbly texture; some brands are more easily crumbled with your hands than grated. Sprinkled over hot food, it softens beautifully and becomes creamy rather than stringy, like some other cheeses. Queso fresco is widely available, and grocery stores that sell a wide selection of Latin food will usually have at least a couple of brands to choose from. Try a few to find one you like; my favorite brand is Cacique Ranchero. Tightly wrapped, queso fresco will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
