Corn Con Cotija Courtesy Of Martine Garcia Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the corn from the cob and put into a bowl. Use the back of the knife and press to release the milk of the cob into the bowl with the corn.
• Heat the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the corn and corn milk to the pan.
• Add the sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to soften slightly and heats through, about 5 minutes. Add the edamame and tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes. Add the cotija and creme fraiche and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute longer.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lime zest, green onions and chopped cilantro. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with whole cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Grill corn until charred on all sides, 10 or so minutes. Take off the grill and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. While you are cutting the corn, put a cast iron skillet on the grill to heat.
• Add the corn and the remaining ingredients to the hot pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and heated through. Serve with the steak.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn in their husks until the husks start to blacken, about 3 minutes per side.
• Mix together the butter, chili powder, cayenne pepper, lime juice and some salt and black pepper in a bowl until incorporated.
• Peel back the corn husks, leaving on to use as handles while eating. Rub the chili-lime butter all over the corn. Garnish with the cotija cheese.

Steps:

• The corn may be boiled, in which case remove the husks, place corn in a pot of rapidly boiling water and remove to a warm platter after 5 minutes. Then cover with a towel. Or it may be roasted, in which case remove the outer husk, brush the ears with cooking oil and place them beneath a preheated broiler and broil 3 inches from the heat source, turning from time to time, until the kernels begin to brown, about 15 minutes in all.
• When corn is cool enough to be handled, spread it with sour cream, then roll in grated cotija.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium. Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them. Remove the silks and recover the corn with the husk. Soak in large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Unwrap corn and brush with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with the cotija cheese and squeeze with lime. Sprinkle with chopped chives, to garnish.
• Combine butter, garlic, habanero, and chives in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to use.

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat, add the sausage and onion and sautéuntil onion is softened, about 7 minutes. (Do not overcook.) Set aside.
• In another deep skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until the surface ripples. Pat scallops dry and fry in batches of 6 or 7 until they are light brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. (The scallops should not be cooked through.)
• When all the scallops are browned, add them to the sausage and onions. Add the wine and stock and bring to a simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce liquid to a coating consistency. Off heat, swirl in more butter if necessary to make an emulsion. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Combine corn, cotija, lime zest, lime juice, oil, cayenne, cilantro, and scallions in a bowl. Season with salt.
• Toast tortillas individually over a gas burner, or spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil, turning once to char both sides. Fill with mango slices and corn salad. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.

Steps:

• In a 10- or 12-inch frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and fry the garlic until fragrant, taking care not to burn it. Add the thyme and clam juice and reduce by half, about 4 minutes. Add the wine and reduce, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy cream and simmer till the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Combine 1 cup of the basil leaves and the clams and add to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
• Cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat. Add Parmesan to taste. Correct the seasonings. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water or additional cream, sparingly. Simmer the pasta and stir until sauce is the desired thickness. Add more basil to taste and serve immediately.
