Roasted Corn Tomato And Garlic Queso Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• Break apart garlic bulb into cloves but leave skins on. In large bowl, toss garlic cloves, corn and tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil; spread on cookie sheet.
• Roast 25 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are caramelized around edges a little bit. Remove from oven; set aside to cool.
• While vegetables are roasting, in 3-quart saucepan, heat remaining tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add shallot and salt; cook until softened and translucent. Stir in evaporated milk and green chiles. Heat to boiling. Add cream cheese, stirring well to combine. In 2 batches, add Cheddar and pepper Jack cheese, stirring well after each addition until combined. Remove from heat.
• Squeeze cooled cooked garlic from skins into cheese mixture. Fold in roasted corn and tomatoes. Serve queso warm with chips.

Steps:

• Trim the tops off 2 heads of garlic; sprinkle with olive oil and salt. Wrap in foil and roast at 350 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Squeeze the garlic out of its skin and mix with 1 grated tomato and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan; season with salt, pepper and fresh thyme. Grill 4 ears of corn, turning, about 12 minutes. Cover with the tomato mixture.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute corn in oil until crisp-tender. Stir in the tomatoes, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat; sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the processed cheese into 1-inch cubes, then add to a medium saucepan. Stir in the tomatoes and their juices, plus 2/3 cup water, then heat over medium-low, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. You can stop here, and serve immediately with chips, or proceed to Step 2, if you're feeling extra.
• Stir in any combination of desired additions: black beans, scallions, cilantro, garlic, cumin, red-pepper flakes, oregano, and lime zest and juice. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until warmed and flavors meld, about 5 minutes. If you like some extra heat, stir in chipotle chiles en adobo. Season to taste with salt, and additional red-pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately. (You could also keep your queso in a slow-cooker on a low setting, stirring occasionally, to keep it molten.) Mixture will keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler and set rack 4 inches below. If your broiler and oven are separate, also preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
• Place tomatoes and jalapeños on one of the baking sheets and set under broiler, about 4 inches from heat. Broil for about 6 minutes, until skins are charred and blackened in spots. Using tongs, flip over tomatoes and jalapeño and continue to broil for another 6 minutes. The tomatoes and chiles should be softened and cooked through as well as charred. Tip tomatoes and chiles, along with any juices in the pan, into a bowl and allow to cool.
• Place corn on baking sheet and set under the broiler. Broil until you hear the kernels beginning to pop, 2 to 4 minutes. Corn should be nicely browned on one side. Flip over and broil for 2 minutes, or until you hear popping, on the other side. Remove from heat, allow to cool, then cut kernels from cob and set aside.
• If using the same oven to roast the onions, turn heat down to 425 degrees. Break up onions into rings and place on baking sheet in a single layer. Add garlic and place in oven. Roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until onions have softened and are lightly browned and charred on edges and garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes. If some of the smaller pieces of onion begin to char more quickly than others, remove them sooner.
• Stem jalapeños and place with onions and garlic in a food processor fitted with the bowl as necessary. Transfer to a large bowl.
• When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, core and discard skins (hold over bowl to catch juices). Place in food processor with juice and pulse to a coarse purée. Add to bowl with chopped onions, garlic and jalapeño. Add the vinegar, season generously with salt (Rick Bayless recommends a generous teaspoon), and stir in the cilantro and corn. If desired, thin out with water.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the corn and saute 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the garlic, jalapenos, cheese and cream. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle tomatoes and cilantro over top and serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper., Brush corn with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill, covered, over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Grill tomato slices 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned., Cool corn slightly. Cut corn from cobs; transfer to a small bowl. Stir in green onion, parsley, olives, capers, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest and remaining oil., Serve corn mixture over tomatoes; sprinkle with cheese. If desired, serve with baguette slices.

Steps:

• In a large pot with boiling salted water cook pasta until al dente. Drain.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and dried basil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the tomatoes, corn kernels, and scallions. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Toss pasta with tomato mixture. Sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.

Steps:

• Special Equipment: A pastry bag and a large closed star tip (we used size 845 tips); deep-fry thermometer.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Toast cascabel until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chiles from baking sheet, let cool.
• Increase oven temperature to 450°. Roast tomatoes, fresnos and onion on a clean rimmed baking sheet until skin is browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add garlic, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons salt; blend until smooth. Add cascabel and blend until coarsely chopped. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and continue to cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, gradually add both cheeses, and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is completely melted and queso is smooth. If it seems too thick, stir in a little more milk. Keep warm until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead: Salsa and queso can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill speperately. Bring salsa room temperature before serving; warm queso until smooth and creamy.
• Fit pastry bag with star tip. Whisk chili powder and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Bring milk, butter, cumin, 1¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, add flour and cornmeal in one go, and vigorously mix until dough comes together, about 30 seconds. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, add eggs to dough, one at a time, making sure to incorporate each egg before adding the next (alternatively, stir vigorously with a wooden spoon). Dough will look broken at first; continue to beat, scraping bowl occasionally, until dough is smooth, glossy, and somewhat stretchy (pull off a small piece of dough and stretch it-it shouldn't break). Spoon dough into prepared pastry bag.
• Pour oil into a large pot to come halfway up the sides. Fit pot with thermometer and heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°. Holding bag at an angle so tip is a few inches above surface of oil, squeeze out dough, moving the bag as you squeeze so dough is piped in a 6" length into oil. Using a paring knife, cut off dough at the tip to release into oil. Repeat process to make 4 more dough lengths. Fry churros, turning once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil temperature, until golden brown on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Sprinkle warm churros with reserved chili-salt mixture mixture. Dollop salsa over warm queso and swirl to combine; serve with warm churros.

Steps:

• Make the garlic butter:
• Combine the butter and garlic in a food processor or with a mixer until smooth. (To mix by hand, let the butter get very soft, then beat in the garlic, finely minced, with a large wooden spoon.) Season to taste with salt and pepper. (The garlic butter can be made in advance, covered, and kept refrigerated up to 2 days, or frozen for a week. Bring to cool room temperature before serving.)
• Make the corn:
• 1. Heat your grill to high.
• 2. Place the corn on the grill, close the grill hood, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until steamed through and hot but still crisp (test by carefully piercing with a knife). Unwrap the husks from the corn and immediately spread or brush with garlic butter.
• 3. Squeeze the limes on top and and sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.
