Hidden Valley Grilled Corn Rsc Recipes

HIDDEN VALLEY GRILLED CORN #RSC

Steps:

• Working with one ear of corn at a time, peel back the husks and leave attached at the base so it gives you a sort of handle.
• Remove any silk strands. If desired, tie string around husks to keep them together better. Transfer corn to a large bowl and let soak for 30 minutes.
• Grill over medium-high heat. Cook, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. While cooking, combine Dips mix and mayonnaise. Place cheese onto a plate.
• Remove corn from grill and brush with mayonnaise. Roll each ear of corn in cheese to coat. Sprinkle corn evenly with some of the cilantro, parlsey, chile powder, and black pepper, pressing the corn so that seasonings and cheese will adhere to the mayonnaise. Drizzle with lemon juice after plating.

RANCH-STYLE ELOTE / ESQUITES (MEXICAN CORN) 3 WAYS #RSC

Steps:

• Start by making the dressing. In a small glass bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with milk and the "Hidden Valley Ranch" seasoning mix, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to 24 hours) -- and away we go! --.
• "Stove-top / Broiling method for Elote": On the stove-top, boil frozen corn on the cob according to package instructions, (or micro-wave, per instructions). If using fresh, remove husks and boil corn in large sauce pan until tender. IMPORTANT: Save about 1/2 c of the water from the boiling process (it contains the starch) for the "Esquites" preparation method.
• While corn is boiling, preheat oven to 500* F with a rack set in middle of oven.
• When the corn is cooked thru, remove the ears of corn to a platter.
• Okay, here is where we can 'part ways' on cooking methods -- but for now, I'm sticking with the stove-top / broiler method for "Elote".
• Now that the corn is cooked, line a baking tray with aluminum foil. Brush each ear of corn with the melted butter, salt and pepper lightly and place on tray (NO chili powder yet).
• Place tray in oven and bake for approx 15 minutes +/-, rotating (rolling) corn often, until all sides are lightly browned. Once you've reached your desired browning, remove the corn to that same platter that we dirtied earlier.
• "Grilled Elote" (the true way): The other alternative is using your grill to brown. If you are starting your corn on the grill, (while skipping the boiling method), be sure to remove silk only, and soak corn in water before grilling. Leave husks on while grilling, until your ready to brown them. when cooked thru, remove husks, brush with melted butter and grill ears, while turning, to desired browning has been achieved.
• (There you have the basics done. Now, were 'parting ways' again -- You can have one cob each that serves 4, or you can cut each cob in half to make 8 small servings. Now, at this point, you can shave the kernels off of the cob using a serrated knife, into a bowl, and "voila", we are now morphing into "Esquites" -- but please wait patiently for that).
• If you want "Elote", leave the cob in tact, slather it with the dressing we made earlier, heavily sprinkle on the grated Parm and add a little minced chives. (Heck, roll it thru them)! Squeeze a wedge of lemon over the whole thing, and add the touch of chili powder (if you so desire). Now your Americanized Ranch version of "Elote" is done.
• "Esquites": You've shaved the kernels off the cob after boiling and browning. Now put the kernels in a bowl, add the desired amount of water that the corn was boiled in (1/4-1/2 c), then throw in a heap of the dressing, cheese and chives and mix well. Squeeze a couple of lemon wedges 'over the top' (only after mixing). Enjoy!
• *** I used the following substitutions to make my "Ranched-up" version vs the traditional:.
• Greek Yogurt, milk & Ranch seasoning = mayo.
• Parmesan cheese = Cotija cheese.
• lemon = lime.

HIDDEN VALLEY TEX-MEX CHICKEN SOUP #RSC

Heat to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender. Remove chicken, cool and shred. Add next 8 ingredients - cabbage through squash - simmering broth and continue simmering until vegetables are tender. Dice avocado and toss with lemon juice. Place one cup tortilla chips into each of 4 bowls. Top the chips in each bowl with ¼ of the chicken, then ¼ of the cheese. Ladle soup over chips, chicken and cheese, place one ear of corn in each bowl. Top soup with lemon dressed avocado.

BAJA SHRIMP TACOS, GRILLED CORN SALSA & CHIPOTLE YOGURT #RSC

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, and Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix. Mix well. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
• Heat your grill to high heat. Grill the corn, for 10 minutes, until the husks are browned on all sides. Carefully peel off the husks and silk. Cut the corn from the cob and place in a medium bowl. Add the pico de gallo to the grilled corn kernels and mix well. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chipotle chiles, lemon juice, and chives. Mix well.
• Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated shrimp and saute for 2 - 3 minutes, until cooked through.
• Assemble the tacos. Top each tortilla with the sauteed shrimp, grilled corn salsa, chipotle yogurt sauce, diced avocado, and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side. Enjoy!

HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH: POTATO CHOWDER IN A POCKET #RSC

Steps:

• In a large pot put potatoes and enough water to cover them on the stove over medium to high heat. Cook until potatoes are tender. Drain.
• To potatoes add yogurt, Hidden Valley Ranch mix, and milk or water. Beat until mashed.
• Add corn, cheese, and shrimp. Blend together.
• Cut dough into fourths. Roll out each fourth using a little bit of flour, so it doesn't stick.
• Put about ½ cup to ¾ of filling into each fourth. I like to add a slice of Brie for good measure! Fold the dough over and crimp the edges.
• Place "pockets" on a baking sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
• Brush olive oil onto each pocket.
• Bake at 350° for 30-35minutes.
