Chipotle Corn Salad With Grilled Bacon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium.
• Arrange the corn on the grill and cook, turning frequently, until the corn is slightly charred, about 12 to 15 minutes
• Remove the corn from the grill to a cutting board and let cool. Cut the kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife and transfer to a serving bowl. Add all the remaining ingredients and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Slice corn kernels off cob. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. If pan looks very greasy, spoon off some bacon fat if desired.
• Stir corn into skillet and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in chipotle and salt. Add 2 tablespoons water and cook, scraping up browned bits from bottom of pan, and simmering until thickened. Stir in cilantro and serve, topped with a dollop of sour cream if you like.

Steps:

• In a wok or large skillet set over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring, until it is very crisp, and the fat has rendered, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside. Pour the bacon fat out from the skillet until about 2 tablespoons remain. Return the pan to medium-high heat, add the shallots to the bacon fat, and cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the corn and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to brown, about 6 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and chiles. Add the crispy bacon and fish sauce and remove from the heat. Then add the cilantro, lime juice and avocado. Gently toss to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm, chilled or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with 2 inches of water and a tablespoon of salt, then set over high heat until it comes to a boil. Cook about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain potatoes, place on a baking sheet and allow to cool slightly, then halve the potatoes lengthwise. (You can do this the day before.)
• Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a sauté pan until crisp. Reserve bacon and, in a small bowl, 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.
• Light a fire in a fire pit with a grill, or in a charcoal grill, or set a gas grill to high. If you have a strong vent in your kitchen, you may use your stove with a burner set to high. Place a large cast-iron grill pan over the heat and allow it to get hot. You can let the fire die slightly. If using a gas grill or stove, turn heat to medium.
• Put the potatoes and the sliced onions in a large bowl and toss gently with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Working in batches, grill the potatoes cut-side down on the grill until they have developed a light char, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Grill the onions until they are charred, approximately 4 to 6 minutes a side. Return potatoes and onions to bowl.
• For the dressing, combine the remaining olive oil, bacon fat, red-wine vinegar and chipotle in a small bowl and whisk to emulsify. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the dressing to the potato-and-onion mixture and toss gently to combine. Let sit for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the potatoes. Crumble bacon over the top.

Steps:

• Mix the red onion with the vinegar, a pinch of salt and the sugar. Set aside.
• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the corn and cook for 4 mins until partly tender, drain then rinse under cold water to cool. Pat dry then, holding the corn upright, slice down the sides of each cob to remove the corn kernels. Discard the core.
• Heat the butter in a large frying pan over a high heat until foaming, tip in the corn, chipotle paste and a good pinch of salt. Cook the corn for 6-8 mins until blackened in places - don't stir too often. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomatoes, then set aside.
• Stir the oil, lime zest, juice and most of the coriander into the onions to make a dressing. Season to taste, then toss with the lettuce and tip onto a platter. Scatter over the avocado, followed by the chipotle corn mix. Top with the nuts and remaining coriander.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure .
• Put parmesan in a medium bowl and add olive oil in a slow stream, whisking. Whisk in lime juice, garlic, chipotles, and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Rub vegetable oil on corn and cut sides of avocados, then season with 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Grill avocados, cut sides down, and corn, covered only if using a gas grill, turning corn occasionally, until golden-brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Peel avocados and thinly slice. Cut corn kernels from cobs.
• Toss romaine with dressing and serve topped with avocado and corn.

Steps:

• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
• Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
• Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
