Cilantro Corn Saute Food

SOUTHWESTERN SAUTEED CORN

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add corn; cook and stir until tender, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in tomato, lime juice, salt and cumin. Cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro.

PAN SEARED PACIFIC COD WITH CILANTRO VINAIGRETTE AND CREAMED CORN

Steps:

• For the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine cilantro, garlic, lemon zest and juice and season with salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking to incorporate all the ingredients. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper, if necessary, and set aside.
• For the fish: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet placed over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the cod with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, sear the cod for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Once the butter has melted, flip the cod and finish cooking it on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more, or until just cooked through.
• To plate: Place a spoonful of Creamed Corn onto a plate. Set a piece of fish over the corn and spoon over the cilantro vinaigrette.
• In a large saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn kernels and corn milk to the pan, as well as the garlic. Season the corn with salt and pepper and saute for 5 minutes. Add the cream, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Once the cream has reduced, remove the pan from the heat. Carefully transfer half of the mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Add the pureed portion back to the pan and place over heat to warm through. Season the creamed corn with salt and pepper.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO BUTTER

Steps:

• Puree cilantro, butter, lime zest and juice, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in food processor.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Brush corn with some of the cilantro butter, and season with salt. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and bright in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Brush corn again with remaining cilantro butter. Sprinkle generously with cheese. Serve warm.

SOUTHWEST CORN, CHILI, AND CUMIN SAUTé

Steps:

• Char poblano chilies directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop chilies. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add corn, oregano, 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies, and poblano chilies and sauté until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in radishes, 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice, and lime peel. Sauté until radishes are slightly softened but still retain their color, about 2 minutes. Add more chipotle chilies by 1/2 teaspoonfuls, depending on spiciness desired. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired, and serve.
• Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
• ** Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
