SautÉed Corn With Chipotle Chilies And Thyme Recipes

CHIPOTLE-LIME CORN

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Add scallions and cook until softened, 3 minutes. Add chile and cook 1 minute. Add corn and water, cover, and cook until corn is warmed through, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is evaporated, 2 minutes. Stir in lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED FRESH CORN

Steps:

• Remove the husks and the silk from the corn and cut the kernels off as close to the husk as possible without removing any of the husk. You should have about 7 cups of kernels.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy saute pan. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and saute uncovered on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the starchiness in the corn is gone. Taste, for salt and pepper, and serve.

SOUTHWEST CORN, CHILI, AND CUMIN SAUTé

Steps:

• Char poblano chilies directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop chilies. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add corn, oregano, 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies, and poblano chilies and sauté until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in radishes, 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice, and lime peel. Sauté until radishes are slightly softened but still retain their color, about 2 minutes. Add more chipotle chilies by 1/2 teaspoonfuls, depending on spiciness desired. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired, and serve.
• Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
