Time 20m

Yield Serves six generously

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 pound fresh tomatillos, husked
1 small serrano or 1/2 jalapeño chili
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
10 cilantro sprigs
1 tablespoon chopped onion, soaked in cold water for five minutes, drained and rinsed
1 garlic clove, peeled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Kernels from 2 ears corn
3/4 pound green beans, trimmed and cut in 2-inch lengths about 3 cups
1 large or 2 medium tomatoes, cut in 1/4-inch dice
4 radishes, cut in half lengthwise then sliced thin in half-moons
2 tablespoons minced chives
Lettuce leaves for the platter or bowl
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco (1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil and place the tomatillos on top, stem side down. Place under the broiler at the highest rack setting and broil two to five minutes, until charred on one side. Turn over and broil on the other side for two to five minutes, until charred on the other side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a blender, tipping in any juice that may have accumulated on the baking sheet. Add the chili, lime juice, cilantro sprigs, onion, garlic and olive oil to the blender and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust salt, and set aside.
  • Steam the corn kernels (or steam the entire ear, then cut the kernels off) and beans above one inch of boiling water for five minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat, refresh with cold water and drain on paper towels. Place in a bowl and toss with the tomato, radishes, chives and the dressing. Line a platter or wide bowl with the lettuce leaves, top with the salad, sprinkle on the crumbled cheese and serve.

Time 55m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
6 to 8 tomatillos, husked & coarsely chopped (about 8 ounces)
2 cloves garlic, smashed, peeled and quartered
1 avocado, halved, pitted, peeled and diced
1/2 jalapeno, coarsely chopped with seeds
1/2 onion, coarsely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
6 ears fresh corn, shucked
2 tablespoons canola oil, to coat corn
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1/2 small red onion, finely diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hot sauce

SUMMER TACOS WITH CORN, GREEN BEANS AND TOMATILLO SALSA



Summer Tacos with Corn, Green Beans and Tomatillo Salsa image

Another way to use the versatile green bean in summer cooking. Cut into one-inch lengths and add to a mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa. Green beans are such a reliable and versatile summer vegetable. I serve them on their own, of course, but I also throw them into various pasta dishes and salads, and here I've used them in a taco filling. Cook the beans first, just until tender, then cut them into one-inch lengths and add to this sweet and spicy mix of corn, chiles and green tomatillo salsa.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

Coarse salt
3 ears corn, husks and silk removed
1 1/2 pounds green beans, stem ends snapped off
3 cloves garlic, peeled and gently smashed
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1/2 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced

  • Add the green beans, return to a boil, and cook until very tender, about 8 minutes (timing may vary depending on the size of the beans). Meanwhile, cut the corn kernels off the cobs and put kernels in a large bowl. Drain the beans in a colander, shake to remove excess water, and put in bowl with corn. Add garlic and 3 tablespoons of oil. Toss well and let stand at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend; refrigerate if longer than 30 minutes.
  • If necessary, bring beans and corn to room temperature by removing them from refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, remove the garlic and add the remaining tablespoon of oil along with vinegar, onion, and tomatoes. Add salt to taste and serve at room temperature.

FRESH CORN AND GREEN BEAN SALAD



Fresh Corn and Green Bean Salad image

A wonderful salad that takes full advantage of summer's best bounty. Paired with grilled meats, this will work well at any BBQ or picnic. Finding this in November has be already longing for next year. In the meantime, I may try this with the frozen variety though I bet it won't be nearly as good. (Update: After WI Cheesehead's experiment with frozen vegetables I managed to track down some fresh corn and beans. Following the directions presented here, the result is sweet crisp vegetables that you simply can't get from the freezer.)
