ROASTED CORN AND GREEN RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to 350 degrees F.
• Place corn and chiles on grill, and grill until corn is partially charred on outside and chiles are fully charred on outside. Transfer both to a platter. Peel the outer skin from the chiles and remove stems and seeds, leaving only the tender meat of the chiles.
• Remove corn kernels from the cob with a knife or spoon and then place in a medium bowl. Dice chiles, red pepper, and onion and then add to bowl with kernels. Add cilantro and lime juice. Drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and garlic powder, to taste. Thoroughly combine and then refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving.

ROASTED LOBSTER ON BLUE CORN PANCAKES WITH RED CURRY SAUCE AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• For the pancakes: In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine the honey, eggs, milk and melted butter. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well. Heat a griddle over high heat, brush with oil and add 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Fry for about 1 minute, or until dry around the edges, turn, and fry for about 30 seconds until cooked through.
• For the lobster: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Kill the lobsters by inserting a sharp knife into the cross mark on the top shell between the heat and the body. Pull or cut off the claws. Pull or cut off the tails and cut in half lengthwise. Discard the bodies. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until smoking. Season the lobster pieces to taste with salt and pepper and sear 3 minutes. Pour off excess oil. Place the pan in the oven and roast until the lobster is cooked through, 15 minutes. Reseason if necessary.
• For the relish: Combine all ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sweat the ginger, garlic, curry paste and onion for 3 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the wine and stock and reduce until 1/4 cup of liquid remains. Reduce the heat to medium, add the cream and simmer for 15 minutes. Combine the sauce and the roasted pepper in a blender and process until smooth. Strain through a fine strainer into a bowl, add the sugar and salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble: Place 1 pancake on 4 large plates and top with a layer of warm lobster and relish, repeat for 3 layers and drizzle with the red curry sauce.
