GRILLED GRIT CAKES WITH GRILLED CORN AND GRILLED CORN-GREEN CHILE RELISH

Steps:

• Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 by 11-inch baking pan and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook until completely reduced.
• Add the stock and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in the cornmeal, stirring until it begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat to medium, switch to a wooden spoon, and continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and soft, about 20 minutes. If the mixture becomes too thick, stir in some water, it should be a pourable consistency. Stir in the corn kernels and pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours. Cut the cornmeal mixture into even squares.
• Heat the grill to high. Brush the cakes on both sides with some of the canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the cakes until golden brown and slightly charred on each side, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and top each cake with some of the relish.
• Combine the corn, chiles, onion, lime juice, honey, oil and cilantro in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Let the relish sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. The relish can be made 8 hours in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

GRILLED CORN WITH GREEN CHILES

Steps:

• Mash together softened butter, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
• Remove a few outer husks from one of the ears, and separate into 8 strips to use for ties; set aside. Working with 1 ear at a time, peel back husks, but leave them attached to base of corn; remove corn silk. Cut 1/2 inch off top of each cob.
• Spread butter mixture onto each cob. Working with 1 ear at a time, pull husks back up, and gather snugly at the top. Tie with a reserved husk strip. Slip the stem of a chile under the knot. Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 8 hours).
• Preheat grill to medium (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 5 to 6 seconds). Submerge ears in a large bowl of cold water for about 1 minute. Grill corn, turning occasionally, 20 minutes. (Alternatively, transfer ears to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and roast in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes.) Serve immediately with melted butter.

• Preheat the grill. Pull down the corn husks, but don't remove them. Extract the silk and rewrap the husks around the corn. Soak the ears in cold water for 30 minutes.

• Remove the corn from the water, pull back the husks and drain thoroughly. Spread the paste over the kernels. Rewrap the husks, then arrange the corn on the hot grill. Cook, turning often, for about 15 minutes, or until the husks are lightly charred. Serve in the husks.
• Optional serving style: After removing corn from water, drain, rewrap in husks and grill. When done, remove from grill, cut corn into 1inch rings and toss with the chile paste. Serve in a bowl.

• Shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub butter mixture thoroughly onto each cob, reserving about 1/4 of the mixture for basting. Wrap each buttered cob in aluminum foil.
• When ready to cook, place cobs on the grill (or, if the fire is low, in the coals) and cook 12 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed and cooked through.
• Unwrap and place on the grill. Use remaining butter to baste the corn as it grills, turning it until lightly charred and cooked through. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if using.
