LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE WITH CORN, PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Long Grain White Rice with Corn, Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large ears fresh corn shucked and all silk removed (1 large (12 to 16 ounces) drained can or 1 (10 ounce) box frozen corn may be substituted. Do not thaw before using.)
3 tablespoons butter, margarine or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 green or red sweet bell pepper, seeded and minced (or use a combination of both peppers)
2 cups long grain white rice (preferably Basmati or Texmati rice)
4 cups rich well seasoned Chicken Stock or "doctored" *canned broth
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon additional butter or margarine

Steps:

  • If using fresh corn: After removing the husks and silk, cut the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife (being careful not to cut into the cob itself). Place the kernels into a bowl and using the knife, scrape up and down the shaft of the cob (over the bowl of corn) extracting the natural "corn cream". If using canned or frozen corn, simply begin with step #2.
  • To saute the vegetables: Melt the butter (or heat the oil) in a 2 1/2 quart heavy bottomed sauce pot (one that comes with a tight fitting lid). When hot, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3 minutes. Add the green pepper and saute until all the vegetables are softened and very fragrant, about 5 minutes over meduimlow heat.
  • To toast the rice: If using an "aromatic" rice, rinse it through a sieve (medium mesh) and drain well (see note). Add the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and vegetables. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the rice is dry and beginning to turn golden.
  • To simmer (see note): Add the hot broth and return to a boil. Stir in the corn (whether fresh, drained canned or frozen), and bring back to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Simmer over a low flame for exactly 17 minutes without lifting the lid.
  • To "settle" and serve: Uncover and add a good amount of fresh pepper and some salt to taste. If desired, stir in 1 tablespoon of additional butter or margarine. Fluff with a fork, and cover the pot. Allow the rice to settle for 3 to 5 minutes to absorb any excess moisture. Serve hot.
  • Time Management Tips:
  • 1) For extra ease of preparation when assembling, all listed fresh vegetables can be chopped as much as one day ahead and kept refrigerated in separate (well covered) bowls.
  • 2) The stock can be made months ahead and kept frozen in securely covered, heavy freezer containers.
  • "Variation" Tips:
  • 1) Changing the type of stock can give your rice dish a totally different taste and (at times) color. Choose your stock according to your menu and don't be afraid to mix different types of stock,vegetables (and herbs) to create an even more complex flavor. Also, always thaw more stock than you'll need so you can boil it down until the volume is reduced (which will concentrate the flavor).
  • Some winning combinations of stock: Beef and chicken, chicken and shrimp, veal and beef, veal and chicken or chicken and fish.
  • Tips From a Teacher:
  • The most renown type of aromatic rice is Basmati rice which (once grown only in Pakistan and India), is now also grown here in the United States. This type of rice is special (although pricey) not only for it's nutty, butterlike and seductive flavor, but during cooking, the grains swell much more in length than in width, making the feel of the cooked rice more distinctive in the mouth. Basmati rice is also lower in starch which encourages the grains to remain separate.
  • Jasmine rice, another long grain white rice once grown exclusively in Thailand, is now also grown here and the flavor is similar to Basmati although the texture is somewhat softer when cooked. The other readilyavailable types of aromatic rice are grown here and come in both white, tan and brown varieties. All of the new domestic breeds of rice are an attempt to duplicate the flavor and aroma of Basmati, at a more affordable price. They can be identified as Texmati, Wehani and Popcorn rice (also called Wild Pecan rice). These are all delicious and lend their own unique characteristics to the finished dish.

ARUGULA AND CORN SALAD WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND WHITE BEANS



Arugula and Corn Salad With Roasted Red Peppers and White Beans image

Canned beans can also be used in this composed salad with a base of sweet corn and pungent arugula. Since you don't need a broth for this composed salad, canned beans will work, though I always prefer the flavor of beans I've cooked myself. I like to use a white bean, either a cannellini or a navy bean. I've always loved sweet corn with pungent arugula. I combine the two for a salad bed, which I top with the roasted peppers and beans. So the dish is really two salads, one on top of the other.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ear sweet corn
3 cups baby or wild arugula

Salt to taste
1 small garlic clove, pureed or put through a press
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

  • Steam corn for 4 to 5 minutes, until just tender. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and cut kernels off cob. Combine with arugula in a large bowl.
  • Remove seeds and membranes from roasted peppers and cut in 2-inch strips. Place in another bowl. Add beans, chives and basil and toss together.
  • Whisk together vinegars, salt, garlic, mustard, and olive oil. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the dressing and toss the rest with beans and peppers. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and allow to sit for at least 15 minutes and for up to 3 days (in the refrigerator).
  • Toss remaining dressing with arugula and corn. Line salad plates or a platter with arugula and corn mixture. Top with peppers and beans. Garnish with shaved Parmesan, and serve.

GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD WITH CORN, PEPPERS, AND TORTILLA CHIPS

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the chicken
2 boneless chicken breasts with the skin (about 1 1/2 pounds), halved
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon dried orégano, crumbled
vegetable oil for brushing the chicken
For the tortilla crisps
4 corn tortillas, cut into long thin triangles
vegetable oil for frying the tortillas
2 cups cooked fresh corn kernels (cut from about 4 ears)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
3 scallions, sliced thin
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh orégano or 1 teaspoon crumbled dried, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
1 bunch of arugula, washed well and spun dry

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken:
  • In a bowl let the chicken marinate in the lime juice with the orégano and salt and pepper to taste, covered and chilled, for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. Drain the chicken, pat it dry, and brush it with the oil. Grill the chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper, on a well-oiled rack set about 6 inches over glowing coals for 6 to 7 minutes on each side, or until it is just cooked through. (Alternately, the chicken can be grilled on top of the stove in a ridged grill pan over moderately high heat for about the same length of time.) Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it stand for 10 minutes.
  • Make the tortilla crisps while the chicken is grilling:
  • In a heavy skillet heat 1/2 inch oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and in it fry the tortilla triangles in batches for 45 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are golden, transferring them with a slotted spatula as they are fried to paper towels to drain and sprinkling them with salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
  • In a large bowl combine the corn, the bell pepper, and the scallions, add the lime juice, the orégano, the cumin, the oil, and salt and black pepper to taste, and toss the mixture until it is combined well. Cut the chicken lengthwise into thin slices and add it to the corn mixture with any juices that have accumulated on the cutting board. Divide the arugula and the tortilla crisps among 4 plates and mound the chicken salad in the center of each plate.

CHOPPED MEXICAN SALAD WITH ROASTED PEPPERS, CORN, TOMATOES, AND



Chopped Mexican Salad With Roasted Peppers, Corn, Tomatoes, And image

This is a great chopped salad recipe that appeared in the July '06 edition of Fine Cooking. The only change I've made is cutting the corn off the cob and pan roasting the kernels in a nonstick pan coated with cooking spray, rather than roasting the corn and then slicing them off the cob. It's very healthy, colorful, refreshing, and fun! Try this with Grilled Lime Shrimp #43737.
