CORN TORTELLI WITH TARRAGON BUTTER

Steps:

• For the Corn Tortelli:
• Begin by rolling out the pasta dough. Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and set aside. Cut a piece of the dough off the ball and shape into a rectangle about the size of a deck of cards. Cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap until you are ready to use it. Roll the rectangle of dough through the widest setting of the pasta machine a few times until it is smooth. Then roll it through the remaining settings to the thinnest setting. Sprinkle the sheet lightly with cornmeal, gently fold, place on the cornmeal-lined baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Continue rolling out the rest of the pasta.
• Next, in a medium bowl mix together the drained creamed corn, mascarpone cheese, goat cheese, tarragon, and pepper. Stir to combine and set aside. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.
• To form the tortelli, place a sheet of pasta on a dry work surface. Using a pastry brush dipped in the egg wash, brush the entire sheet of fresh pasta. Place rounded teaspoons (about 1 ounce) of the corn filling on the pasta sheet, about 2 inches apart. Carefully place another sheet of pasta over the mounds, smoothing out any air pockets and firmly sealing the pasta around the filling. Using a scalloped pasta cutter (or a sharp knife) cut the pasta into small squares. Transfer the Tortelli to the cornmeal-lined baking sheet. Continue forming the remaining tortelli.
• To make the Tarragon Butter: In a medium bowl, gently mix together all the ingredients.
• To serve, place the Tarragon Butter in a large serving bowl. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until they float, about 2 minutes. Drain pasta, using a large mesh strainer or slotted spoon, into the bowl with the Tarragon Butter. Toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately.
• Place the flour in a food processor. In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the salt and olive oil to the eggs and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture to the food processor. Pulse to combine the ingredients, scraping down the sides once or twice. Continue, with the machine running, until the liquid is evenly distributed, about 1 minute. The dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers. The dough will be cornmeal-yellow in color. Some of the dough will be sticking together, but it will not form a single ball.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into a ball and knead gently until the dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes.
• Roll out the dough to your desired shape.

CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Puree all in a blender or food processor.
• Place the butter on a sheet of plastic wrap and cover.
• Roll the butter up, forming it into a long log shape and place in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use.
• Serve the rolled up log or cut off slices as needed.
• Goes great on grilled chicken and corn on the cob.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
• Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
• Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

CORN ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat the garlic and butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the butter with the flavor of garlic. Do not let the butter simmer. Stir together the sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a small dish. Stir into the butter mixture along with the lime juice and hot sauce until evenly blended. Brush the ears of corn generously with the garlic butter; reserve remaining butter.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, rotating occasionally until the corn is hot and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the corn with the remaining butter as the corn cooks.

GRILLED CORN WITH TARRAGON-CHIPOTLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Using a sharp vegetable peeler, remove the zest from the orange, and set aside. Cut the orange in half, and squeeze and reserve 1/2 cup of the juice. In the container of a blender, combine the orange zest, orange juice, anchovy paste, chipotle puree, lemon juice, scallions and dried tarragon. Puree until smooth.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the butter to bubbling. With the motor of the blender running, add the butter through the opening in the lid. When the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, transfer to a serving dish, and stir in the fresh tarragon leaves. Set aside.
• Prepare a medium-low fire on the grill. Turn back the husks of the corn without removing them, and remove the corn silk. Rinse the ears well in water, and replace the husks so they cover the kernels. Place the corn on the grill, and cook, turning, to gently steam, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer the corn to a platter, carefully remove the husks and put the ears back on the grill. Grill, turning, just long enough to scorch slightly on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes.
• To serve, brush the hot corn lightly with the seasoned butter. Pass the extra butter in a serving dish.
