Corn Soup With Pico De Gallo Recipes

NACHOS WITH RAW CORN PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• Make the pico de gallo: Soak the red onion in ice water, 10 minutes; drain. Combine the corn, cilantro, tomatoes, pickled jalapeños and brine, lime juice and a big pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the red onion and toss. Season with more salt if needed; set aside for at least 15 minutes.
• Make the nachos: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth, then add the chili powder and whisk until toasted, 1 to 2 more minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and whisk in 1/2 cup milk. Add the remaining milk and cook, whisking, until the mixture starts to simmer and thickens slightly. Add the cheese by the handful, whisking to melt before adding more. Cook, whisking, until smooth. Season with salt.
• Layer the tortilla chips, cheese sauce and corn pico de gallo on a platter.

GRILLED CORN PICO DE GALLO

Steps:

• 1 Heat a dry grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until darkened in spots, about 10 minutes. Set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
• 2 Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cobs and add them to a medium bowl. Mix in the tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, and serrano. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, until flavors blend. (The salsa can be made up to 4 hours ahead.)
