CORN AND SQUASH SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

• To make the dressing, add the olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, chili powder, black pepper, lime zest and juice and garlic to a mixing bowl or small mason jar. Stir or secure the lid and shake to combine. Pour two-thirds of the dressing over the vegetables and toss to coat completely.
• Grill the vegetables, turning as needed, until really nice grill marks begin to form, about 5 minutes for the squash and 7 minutes for the corn in total. Remove to a baking sheet and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Arrange the slices of tomatoes around the edge of a large cutting board or platter and season with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Place the grilled vegetables around the platter thoughtfully, making sure to leave some of the tomato peeking through. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and shower with the queso fresco and cilantro.

ROASTED CORN PUDDING IN ACORN SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F degrees with a rack in the middle.
• Rub the orange flesh of the squash with the butter/oil. Place cut side up on a baking sheet. You will want it to sit flat (and not tip), if you are having trouble just level out the bottom using a knife. If the squash is tilting on the pan, the filling will run out - bad news. Cover the squash with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the squash starts to get tender.
• In a bowl combine the milk, eggs, corn, anise seed, half of the scallions, nutmeg, and salt. Fill each of the squash bowls 3/4 full (see head notes about using leftovers). Carefully transfer the squash back to the oven without spilling (tricky!). Continue baking uncovered for another 30 - 50 minutes, or until the squash is fully cooked through, and the pudding has set. The amount of time it takes can vary wildly depending on the squash and oven. At the last minute sprinkle with cheese and finish with a flash under the broiler to brown the cheese. Keep and eye on things, you can go from melted cheese to burnt and inedible in a flash. Serve hot sprinkled with the remaining scallions.

• Put a half cup of water in a large, heavy, non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the squash, cover the pan, lower heat to low-medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is more or less falling apart and all the water has cooked away, about 20 minutes. If necessary, uncover the pan and raise the heat near the end of the cooking so there is no free water.
• While the squash is cooking, cut the corn kernels from the cobs, keeping the knife perpendicular so only the tips are removed. Then scrape the cobs with the back of the knife to get all the juice and kernel hearts.
• When the squash is ready, stir in the corn and cream. Cook, stirring often, for about three minutes, just long enough to heat everything through. Add the coriander, taste and add the merest smidgen of salt if you think it's necessary. Serve at once.
