MIGUEL'S JALAPENO CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat whipping cream in a heavy saucepan over high heat. Stir in sour cream when it's ready to boil. After sour cream dissolves, reduce heat to medium.
• Stir in chicken broth and jalapeno sauce and simmer.
• Meanwhile, make a roux by heating butter and flour. Whisk until mixture turns a pale gold.
• Increase heat on cream mixture until almost boiling and then add roux. Whisk briskly and constantly until roux is incorporated.
• Remove from heat, stir in minced jalapeno and the cheeses.
• Can be served with tortilla chips or as a sauce for dishes.

CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish and set aside. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, puree the corn with only enough milk to make a smooth puree, not to exceed 1 cup. With the machine running, add egg yolks, one at a time, and process 30 seconds after each addition. With the machine running, add the sugar a little at a time and continue processing until mixture is lighter in color and sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add butter and process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder; fold into corn mixture. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form and fold into corn mixture, alternating with the shredded cheese. Pour into the prepared baking dish and garnish with strips of chile and red bell pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
