Creamy Poblano Rice With Corn Recipes

CREAMY POBLANO RICE WITH CORN

Steps:

• Melt butter in large skillet on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Add onions and corn; cook 5 min. Add chiles; cook 1 min.
• Stir in cream cheese and milk; cook 2 to 3 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from heat. Stir in rice; top with cheese. Serve immediately.

POBLANO RICE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the poblano chiles and saute, about 8 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Season with the salt and pepper. Add 1 cup broth and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let cool.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Measure the liquid yield from the blender, adding more chicken broth if necessary to yield 2 total cups of poblano liquid. Adjust seasoning to taste.
• Meanwhile, clean the skillet, place over medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Fry the rice until slightly golden. Pour the poblano puree into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Turn down the heat to medium-low and cover tightly. Cook for 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.

CREAMY STOVETOP CORN WITH POBLANO CHILES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add a pinch of cayenne or a little minced jalapeño, if using.
• Add the corn kernels and poblano strips, season again and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the corn is cooked and tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the scallions, then the crème fraîche and allow it to heat through. Taste for seasoning, and give the corn a good squeeze of lime.

CREAMY CORN AND POBLANO SOUP

Steps:

• Take the corn off the cobs. You should have about 5 cups kernels. Set aside 1 cup of the kernels.
• Place the corn cobs in a large soup pot and add the water. Make sure they are covered or at least floating in the water; you can break them in half if they are very large. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, partly cover and simmer 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Remove and discard the cobs. Line a strainer with cheesecloth and set it over a bowl. Strain the broth and measure out 5 cups. Freeze any leftover broth.
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a heavy soup pot and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds, and then add the 4 cups of corn kernels and salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, for 4 to 5 minutes, until the corn is just tender. Add the corn broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile roast the chilies, either directly over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often until they are uniformly charred. Transfer to a plastic bag and seal, or transfer to a bowl and cover tightly. Allow the peppers to cool, then remove the charred skin, rinse and past dry. Remove the seeds and veins (I recommend that you wear plastic gloves for this) and cut in thin strips or dice.
• Steam the kernels set aside for the garnish for 5 minutes, until tender. Set aside.
• Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender, taking care to remove the insert from the top and cover tightly with a kitchen towel to avoid splashes. Return to the heat, taste and adjust salt, and heat through.
• Ladle the soup into bowls. Combine the steamed corn kernels and diced chilies and place a spoonful in the middle of each bowl of soup. Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro or chives if desired, and serve.

RICE WITH POBLANO PEPPERS AND CORN

Steps:

• Put a pot on high heat with the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and cook, constantly moving, until they're very soft. Approximately 3 minutes.
• Add the rice and let fry in the oil for 5 minutes. Pour the water and add the pepper, mexicorn, garlic salt and consommé, stir well. When the water has boiled, lower the heat, cover the rice and let cook for approximately 20 minutes.
• I recommend checking on it after 18 minutes to make sure the water has not entirely evaporated, this way you'll avoid having the rice stick to the walls of the pot. Just be sure not to mix the rice with a spoon, as this will only weigh it down. If you need to see the bottom of the pot simply insert a spoon in the middle and move to the side.
• If you note that the water has evaporated, but the grains of rice have not fully cooked, add a quarter cup of water, cover and check again in 5 minutes.

Season to taste with sea salt and pepper and saute until the mushrooms release their liquid and then the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes (this may take longer if you are using crimini).
• Add the mushroom mixture and the crema to the soup, stir well cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper.
