ESQUITES



Esquites image

This esquites recipe yields a deliciously creamy, tangy and spicy Mexican corn salad. Serve it in a bowl or small individual cups, as it's typically served in Mexico. Esquites are also called elote en vaso. Recipe yields 4 small side servings and is easily doubled for a crowd; if doubling, give the corn extra time in the pan to turn nicely golden.

Categories     Side dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra-virgin olive oil
3 1/2 cups corn kernels (16 ounces frozen or from about 5 fresh cobs)
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
¼ cup mayonnaise*
1 medium finely chopped jalapeño, optional
1 tablespoon lime juice, plus extra lime wedges for garnish
1 teaspoon chili powder, plus more for sprinkling
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
¼ cup finely grated Cotija cheese**, plus more for sprinkling
¼ cup finely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Once melted, add the corn and the salt (if using frozen corn, no need to defrost first). Cook, stirring just every minute or so, until the corn is warmed through and turning golden on the edges, about 5 to 8 minutes (turn the heat down to low if the corn starts jumping out of the pan).
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then remove the skillet from the heat. Let the corn cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl (the mayonnaise, optional jalapeño, lime juice, chili powder, optional cayenne, cheese and cilantro). Stir to combine. Season to taste with additional salt, if needed.
  • To serve, divide the mixture between small cups and garnish individual servings with a wedge of lime, perhaps a sprinkle of additional cheese and chili powder. Leftovers keep well, refrigerated, for about 4 days.

ESQUITES



Esquites image

Esquites are the salad form of elotes, charcoal-grilled Mexican corn on the cob that is slathered with a creamy sauce, seasoned with chile powder and lime juice and topped with Cotija, a crumbly, aged Mexican cheese. This version doesn't require a grill, and instead chars the corn kernels in a hot skillet until browned and caramelized. Cotija brings salty, milky accents to the salad. Ancho chile powder adds smoky notes, but you can use any type of chile powder you favor. Leftovers transform quickly into a great pasta salad the next day; simply toss with cooked pasta and olive oil.

Categories     salads and dressings, vegetables, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
6 cups fresh corn kernels (from 6 to 7 ears fresh corn)
Kosher salt and black pepper
6 tablespoons mayonnaise
6 tablespoons Mexican crema or sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
4 ounces Cotija cheese (scant 1 cup)
Ancho chile powder (or chipotle or cayenne), for sprinkling

Steps:

  • In a large cast iron or heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is nicely charred and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 2 minutes. (This helps the corn pick up more char and smoky flavor.)
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, crema, cilantro and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/4 cup sauce in a small bowl for drizzling.
  • Add seared corn to the large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Transfer to a large serving platter, spreading corn mixture in an even layer. Drizzle with the reserved sauce, and sprinkle with Cotija and chile powder. Garnish with more cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
