Sliced Tomatoes With Corn And Basil Food

POTATO, TOMATO, CORN AND BASIL SALAD

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to boil. Cook until just fork tender, about 15 minutes. Fish out the potatoes with a spider or slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of ice cold water to stop them from cooking.
• Shuck the corn and break each ear in half. Cook in the same boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes until tender but not soft. Remove the cooled potatoes to a dish-cloth to drain. Immerse corn in the same ice bath until cool. Cut each potato into quarters and place in a large bowl.
• Remove corn from water and also let drain. Use a chef's knife to cut the kernels off each ear. Add kernels to bowl. Add grape tomatoes, onion, and whole basil leaves. Add olive oil and lemon juice and toss gently to combine. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

CORN PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coriander and garlic and let it toast until you smell it, 30 to 45 seconds. Add half of the corn and cook for a couple of minutes to soften. Add the sugar, scallions and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the heavy cream and simmer until the cream reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth. If the corn is "stringy" or the sauce grainy, strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Transfer the sauce to a large skillet and stir in the sun-dried tomatoes. Keep warm.
• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The pasta water should taste like sea water. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so it doesn't stick to the bottom as it cooks. Cook the pasta until al dente (chewy but not hard or raw tasting), 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve a little of the pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later, then drain the pasta in a colander.
• Toss the pasta in the skillet with the sauce and remaining corn. Add some basil leaves and salt and pepper. Scoop into bowls and top with Parmesan and more basil leaves.

TOMATO, CORN, AND BASIL SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a salad bowl mix together the oil, vinegar, and salt.
• Peel and mince the shallot. Add it to the dressing and stir to combine.
• Husk the corn and use a sharp knife to cut off the kernels . When cutting corn kernels from the cob, be careful not to cut too deep: If you have a sharp knife and meet any resistance at all, you're cutting too deep and may end up with tough, woody knobs at the end of the kernels.
• To prepare the tomatoes, use a sharp knife to cut out the stem end and core underneath.
• Cut the tomatoes in half along the equator, squeeze out and discard the seeds and extra juice, and chop.
• Toss the corn and tomatoes with dressing.
• Slice the basil into thin strips (called chiffonade ). Sprinkle the salad with the ribbons of basil and serve. The salad will keep for a few hours topped with the basil or two to three days without the basil (sprinkle the basil on top just before serving).
