CORN BREAD WITH TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• 1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the corn and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain. When the ears are cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs. Place 1 cup of the corn kernels in a bowl and set aside. Place the remaining kernels in a blender and puree. Set aside.

• 5. Place the pans in a shallow baking dish filled halfway with water and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for another 30 minutes.
• 6. Turn the loaves out onto a cooling rack and let cool. Serve with the tomato chutney.

• In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk together to combine well.
• In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and creamed corn, whisking together to combine thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir to combine. If the batter will not pour, add more buttermilk to the batter.

CURRY HUMMUS FLAT BREAD WITH TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• For the tomato chutney: Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until very soft and slightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup water, the vinegar, sugar, allspice, cinnamon and salt and pepper to taste and cook until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro. Let cool to room temperature.
• For the hummus: Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup water and cook, stirring constantly, until the water has almost completely evaporated. Stir in the cayenne and cool briefly.
• Put the chickpeas, curried onions, tahini, olive oil, honey and some salt and pepper in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the parsley and pulse to incorporate. Season with the lemon juice and more salt and pepper if needed.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the naan with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and slightly charred.
• Spread each piece of naan with some of the hummus and top with some of the chutney.
