CHARCOAL GRILLED CORN WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHILE

Steps:

• Pull all of the husks back from the corn without removing it. Pull off and remove all the silk, using a soft brush to get the last stubborn strands. Return the husks to their original position and twist the tops.
• In a large deep bowl, cover the corn with cold water and weight down with a plate to keep them all submerged. Let the corn soak for 1 hour. Meanwhile, light a charcoal fire and let it burn until the coals are medium hot. Set the grill rack 4 inches from the hot coals. Lay the corn on the grill rack and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently with tongs. Pull back some husks to test the kernels for doneness if desired. Remove from the grill, let cool for a few minutes and pull the husks back to the base again so that you can use them as a handle for picking up the corn. Set aside until ready to serve the rest of the meal. Brush the corn with the butter and return it to the grill rack for about 10 minutes, turning frequently, until nicely browned. Sprinkle the corn with the chile powder and pass the sour cream and cheese at the table for guests to help themselves.

If using the silicone muffin pans, spray them as directed and set on a baking pan.
• Whisk the cornmeal,flour,sugar,baking soda,baking powder and salt in a medium bowl until well mixed. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten, then whisk in the buttermilk, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the cornmeal mixture with a wooden spoon until incorporated.
• Fill in the prepared tins three quarters full. Use additional greased tins or oven safe ramekins for any leftover batter, or reserve the batter for a second batch. Bake for 22 minutes or until the muffins have a bumpy, rounded top, and a toothpick inserted into one of the muffins comes out clean.
• Set the pan on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes. Gently rock each muffin back and forth to release it. Remove them from the pan and cool for 5 minutes more on the racks. If storing or freezing, cool completely, and then store in airtight containers or freezer proof bags. These muffins will stay fresh up to 24 hours at room temperature, and up to 1 month in the freezer.

GRILLED PORTOBELLOS WITH CHILE SAUCE, SOUR CREAM AND CORN NUTS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit/240 degrees Celsius. Add the bell pepper, tomato and yellow onion to a medium parchment-lined rimmed baking tray, and toss with 1 1/2 teaspoons oil and a small pinch of salt.
• Arrange the peppers and tomatoes skin side up on the parchment, and roast for 22 minutes, or until softened in places. Set aside, and when cool enough to handle, peel and discard the pepper and tomato skins.
• As the vegetables cook, add the dried chiles to a medium heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to fully submerge. Weigh down the chiles with a small saucer and let sit for 20 minutes to rehydrate.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, a tablespoon of lime juice and a tiny pinch of salt until smooth. Set aside.
• Place a well-greased grill pan over high heat and ventilate your kitchen well. In a large bowl, gently toss together the mushrooms, red onion, 3 1/2 tablespoons oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt.
• Once your grill is hot enough, add half the mushrooms, cap side down, and half the onions. Grill the mushrooms for 5 minutes, then flip them over and grill for another 3 minutes, or until nicely charred and cooked through. Grill the onions for 4 to 5 minutes, flipping as necessary, until charred and softened (don't worry if the layers separate further). Transfer to a large bowl. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and onions. When ready, toss the grilled vegetables with half of the cumin seeds, the remaining tablespoon of lime juice and 1 tablespoon of oil.
• Once the chiles have soaked, remove them, discarding the water. Roughly chop the chiles, then add to a blender along with the roasted vegetables, garlic, maple syrup, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/100 milliliters of fresh water, the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Blitz until completely smooth and silky. If the mushrooms aren't finished cooking, transfer the sauce to a small saucepan over medium heat, and gently warm through, stirring occasionally.
• Pour the warm chile sauce onto a large platter with a lip, swirling to cover the surface of the plate. Use a spoon to drizzle over the sour cream, then top with the mushrooms, onions and any remaining juices. Sprinkle over the remaining cumin seeds, half the corn nuts and all the oregano, serving the remaining corn nuts alongside.
