Sweet Corn Poached In Summer Tomato Sauce Recipes

SUMMER CORN, TOMATO, AND SALMON SALAD WITH ZA'ATAR DRESSING

Steps:

• Generously salt a large pot of water (it should taste like the ocean). Thinly slice half of 1 lemon and add to water along with garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then let boil at least 3 minutes and up to 10 to infuse water.
• Meanwhile, whisk oil, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, 4 tsp. za'atar, and 1 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
• Add corn to boiling water and cook until bright yellow and tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Reduce heat to low, gently add salmon, and poach just until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board with a slotted spoon or spatula and flake into chunks.
• Meanwhile, slice corn off cob into a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion, then toss with 1/2 cup dressing.
• Add flaked salmon to corn mixture and toss very gently just to coat with dressing. Transfer to a serving platter or divide among plates. Top with arugula, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve with additional za'atar alongside.

SWEET CORN POACHED IN SUMMER TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• I shucked the corn and removed all the "silk," rinsed the ears, and dropped four of them in the pot. I covered the saucepan so it quickly returned to a gentle boil, and cooked the ears for about 8 minutes, until the kernels were tender.
• Dripping with sauce, the corn looked beautiful and tasted great-and no one needed butter. In addition, the sauce in the pot gained extra sweetness.
• Try this whenever you make this summer tomato sauce. It's easy to cook a half-dozen ears of corn when the large batch of tomatoes is cooking for the first time. Or you can reheat a quart or more of finished sauce and poach a couple of ears in it at a time.

FRESH TOMATO SOUP WITH SWEET CORN SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onions, garlic, and celery and sauté over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until all are golden. Add the water, tomatoes, and potato. Bring to a rapid simmer, then lower the heat. Cover and simmer gently until the potato is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add the dill and seasoning, and simmer for 5 minutes longer. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, cook the corn until just tender, then drain and allow it to cool. When cool enough to handle, scrape the kernels off the cobs with a sharp knife. Combine the corn kernels with the creamer in a food processor and process until smoothly pureed. Place in a container and refrigerate until needed. Once the tomato mixture has cooled, puree it in batches in a food processor until smoothly pureed, then return to the soup pot. Or insert an immersion blender into the soup pot and process until well pureed.
• Add enough tomato juice to give the soup a slightly thick consistency. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled. To serve, fill each serving bowl about three-quarters full with the tomato soup. Place a ladleful of the sweet corn sauce in the center of each bowl, and garnish each serving with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
