Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tsp. chipotle chile powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground allspice
2 3/4 tsp. (or more) kosher salt, divided
4 (3/4"-thick) boneless pork shoulder (Boston butt) steaks (about 2 lb.) or pork blade chops
Vegetable oil (for grill)
4 ears of corn, husked
1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
1 cup cilantro, finely chopped

  • Transfer pork to a platter. Drizzle any accumulated juices left on cutting board over; sprinkle with sea salt. Top with corn salsa and serve with lime wedges alongside.
  • Do Ahead: Pork can be seasoned 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 15 minutes before grilling.

SMOKY CHIPOTLE-CHICKEN CORN CHOWDER WITH SALSA SALAD



Smoky Chipotle-Chicken Corn Chowder with Salsa Salad image

Categories     Salad     Sauce     Chicken     Corn     Simmer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

5 tablespoons EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil)
1 large onion, chopped
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 chipotle chili in adobo, chopped
2 celery ribs, finely chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/3 handful
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (eyeball it)
Salt and black pepper
20 white or yellow tortilla chips, plus some for garnish
1 quart chicken stock
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into small bite-size pieces
2 10-ounce boxes frozen corn kernels
Juice of 2 limes
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (eyeball it)
2 ripe Hass avocados
1 pint grape tomatoes
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, a palmful, chopped
1 small head romaine lettuce, washed and coarsely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, a generous handful, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a soup pot over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, twice around the pan. Add the onions, garlic, chipotle, celery, coriander, cumin, and a little salt and pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the onions are slightly tender, stirring frequently.
  • While the onions are cooking, in a food processor grind the tortilla chips until they are pretty fine. If you don't have a food processor, put the chips in a resealable plastic bag and smash them up using a rolling pin until you don't feel like doing it anymore. They might not be ground as fine as they would be in the machine, but it won't matter in the end. You need about 1 cup of ground chips; since different brands of chips come in different sizes, adjust the amount you grind accordingly. Add the ground chips to the onions, stir to combine, then add the chicken stock, bring it up to a bubble, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Add the chicken and frozen corn and continue to cook it for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • While the soup is cooking, prepare the salsa salad. To make the dressing, in a small mixing bowl combine the juice of 1 lime, the mustard, and a little salt and pepper. In a slow steady stream whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons of EVOO. Reserve the dressing.
  • Cut all around the circumference of the avocados, lengthwise and down to the pit. Twist and separate the halved fruit. Remove the pit with a spoon, then scoop the flesh out in one piece from both halves, chop it into bite-size pieces, and transfer it to a salad bowl. Cut the grape tomatoes in half and add them to the avocados along with the cilantro, chopped romaine lettuce, and chopped red onion. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss it to coat and combine.
  • If the soup becomes too thick, adjust it by adding a little more stock, and if it is too thin, let it continue to cook and reduce until it is to your liking. Taste and check for seasoning, adjust with a little salt and pepper, and if you want more heat, you have that hot sauce on hand, so use it. Add the parsley and serve the soup with the salsa salad alongside. Garnish each bowl of soup with a chip or two.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. Fresh corn will have a bright yellow color and plump kernels. Avoid corn that is dry or has brown spots.
  • Roast the corn before adding it to the salsa. Roasting the corn will bring out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the corn in the oven, on the grill, or in a skillet.
  • Use a variety of peppers. Different peppers will give your salsa different levels of heat and flavor. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano peppers. For a hot salsa, use jalapeño peppers or habanero peppers.
  • Add some acidity to the salsa. Acidity will help to balance out the sweetness of the corn and the heat of the peppers. You can add acidity to the salsa with lime juice, lemon juice, or vinegar.
  • Season the salsa to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add some chopped cilantro or parsley.

Conclusion:

Chipotle Corn Salsa is a delicious and versatile salsa that can be used as a dip, a topping, or a marinade. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give Chipotle Corn Salsa a try!
