Summer Corn With Lime And Manchego Recipes

ROASTED CORN WITH MANCHEGO & LIME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Roast unhusked corn on a baking sheet, turning occasionally, until heated through and crisp-tender, about 15 minutes. Let cool. Shuck corn and cut kernels from cobs. Discard cobs.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add corn kernels and sauté until heated through and light-golden in spots, 3-5 minutes. Add butter; stir until melted.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer corn to a large wide bowl or deep platter; sprinkle jalapeño and crushed red pepper flakes over. Squeeze lime wedges over; sprinkle with cheese, chives, and lime zest.

CORN SALAD WITH LIME VINAIGRETTE

GRILLED CORN WITH HOT PAPRIKA OIL AND MANCHEGO CHEESE (MAíZ RUSTIDO)

Steps:

• Heat a grill to high. (As an alternative, you could use a rack set over a gas burner.)
• Trim the top and bottom off the lime. Remove and reserve the zest. Slice between the membranes to release the lime segments. Reserve in a large bowl. Grill the corn, turning to char evenly, until dark brown all over and tender, about 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, cut the kernels off the cobs. Transfer to the bowl containing the lime segments and toss until well mixed. Divide among serving dishes.
• Mix the pimentón and oil in a small bowl and drizzle all over the corn. Shave the cheese directly over the corn mixture with a microplane, then sprinkle the lime zest on top. Sprinkle with Maldon salt and serve immediately.

CREAMED CORN WITH LIME

Steps:

• For the corn stock: Put the corn cobs, garlic, bay leaf, onion, coriander, salt and 2 quarts water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook to reduce the liquid to 2 cups, about 45 minutes. Strain and reserve, keeping the stock warm.
• For the creamed corn with lime: Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and drizzle with olive oil. Add the bacon and cook, stirring as needed, until crisp and the fat is rendered, about 10 minutes. Add the onions, garlic and a pinch of salt and cook until the onions have softened, another few minutes. Add the reserved corn kernels, lime zest and corn stock, bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture thickens and reduces, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, sour cream and cilantro. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

SAUTEED CORN WITH BLACK PEPPER AND MANCHEGO

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and 3/4 teaspoon pepper; season with salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until corn is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Serve immediately, sprinkled with more cheese and pepper.
