Charred And Herbed Corn Salad With Crab Food

CHARRED AND HERBED CORN SALAD WITH CRAB

Steps:

• Place corn kernels in a colander to filter out small pieces; transfer to a bowl. Add leeks and garlic; stir to combine.
• Toss diced avocado with lemon juice in a separate bowl to avoid browning.
• Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat; cook and stir corn mixture until corn is uniformly browned, 4 to 8 minutes.
• Fold corn mixture, avocado, rice vinegar, basil, salt, and tarragon together in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with crabmeat.

GRILLED SHRIMP AND CORN SALAD WITH HERB LIME DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. In a small saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter and garlic together. Brush the corn with the butter mixture and reserve the remaining butter for a later use. Grill the corn until slightly charred and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat, then cut the kernels from the cobs and place in a large bowl. Stir in the arugula, cilantro, oil, parsley, tarragon, avocados, black-eyed peas, jalapenos, lime juice and onions.
• Thread the shrimp onto the skewers, 4 per skewer, and brush with the reserved garlic butter. Sprinkle the shrimp with the paprika and some salt and pepper and then grill until pink and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Season the salad with salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving plate and place the shrimp skewers on top of the salad to serve.

CHARRED CORN WITH BACON LARDONS AND RED ONION

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Clean ears of corn and place on a baking sheet, then roast until the corn starts to char, about 25 minutes. Let cool, then cut off corn kernels and set aside.
• Add lardons to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, then add the red onion and cook in the bacon fat. Sprinkle with salt, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the corn and season again. Turn off heat, add the basil and season again if necessary.
• Mix together the vinegar, oil and a pinch of salt. Toss with the corn.

CHARRED CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• Preheat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the corn and allow the corn to char, stirring just often enough so that the char marks are even and the bottom of the pan does not burn, until evenly charred all over, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the smoked paprika and stir to combine. Add the flour and stir until combined evenly, then cook until the flour is cooked and the roux is blond, about 2 minutes. Add half the milk in a slow stream, whisking constantly, until combined. Then add the remaining milk in a slow stream and whisk constantly until smooth. Add the cream cheese and sugar and continue to whisk until smooth and thick, about 2 minutes. Add about 3/4 cup corn and smash into the cream mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula. Stir to combine, then fold in the remaining corn. Turn heat to low and allow to simmer gently until flavors are rich, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and garnish with parsley if desired.

CHARRED CORN AND TOMATO SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat broiler or charcoal grill.
• Grill the corn until it starts to char, turning the ears so they cook evenly. Be sure the corn does not burn. Allow to cool, and with a knife remove the kernels from the cob. Reserve in a bowl.
• To make the vinaigrette, place mustard, garlic, cumin, olive oil, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Blend well with a wire whisk.
• Add the tomatoes, onions, corn and the coriander or parsley. Pour the vinaigrette over all, and toss well. Check for seasoning and serve.

CHARRED CORN SALAD WITH BASIL AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Rub corn with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill, turning frequently, until corn is charred and heated through, 10-12 minutes. Remove from grill; when cool enough to handle, cut kernels from cobs and transfer to a large bowl. DO AHEAD: Corn can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
• Place onion in a strainer and rinse with cold water to mellow its flavor. Drain well. Mix onion, remaining 5 tablespoons oil, tomatoes, basil, 1/3 cup lime juice, and thyme into corn. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lime juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Salad can be assembled 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

• Chop boiled eggs and crab sticks.
• Add corn and salt.

CHARRED SWEETCORN SALSA

Steps:

• Heat a griddle pan. Cook the corn on the cobs in the hot pan, brushing with the olive oil and seasoning as they cook. Turn the corns now and then, until cooked with nice charred lines, about 10 mins. Once cooked, transfer to a plate and leave to cool.
• Halve the avocados and remove the stones. Peel, then cut into chunky pieces. Toss through the half of the lime juice and zest.
• Hold the corn firmly on a chopping board and cut away the kernels. Mix the avocado with the sweetcorn and red onion, coriander leaves, a good pinch of salt and the remaining lime juice and zest. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
