Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat an 8" cast-iron skillet over high. Pat chorizo and beef dry with paper towels, then press into an even layer in bottom of hot skillet with a spatula. Cook, undisturbed, until a brown crust begins to form on the bottom, about 6 minutes. Turn, break into pieces, and continue to cook until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add tomato paste, cumin, half of grated onion, half of jalapeño, and 1 1/4 tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and well combined, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups corn, and 1 1/2 cups cheese.
- Whisk eggs, butter, 1/3 cup sour cream, and remaining onion in a medium bowl. Whisk cornmeal, baking powder, and remaining 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and stir to combine, then stir in 1/4 cup cheese and remaining 1/2 cup corn.
- Dollop cornbread batter over meat mixture, then smooth into an even layer. Top with remaining jalapeños and 1/4 cup cheese.
- Bake cornbread until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Serve with sour cream alongside.
FRESH TOMATO PIE
Steps:
- 1. Place the thinly sliced tomatoes on a wire cooling rack with a paper towel below. Sprinkle both sides with salt. Cover with a paper towel and leave for at least an hour.
- 2. Pre-cook the pie crust. Any pie crust recipe will do, but I have also purchased one.
- 3. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Add the onions and cook until translucent. Add sugar and apple cider vinegar to caramelize. Add the finely diced garlic for one minute. Set aside to cool.
- 4. Dab the tomatoes dry with a fresh paper towel. Combine 1 cup of mozzarella with the mayo.
- 5. Assemble: 1 cup of mozzarella on the bottom, caramelized onions on top. Layer one tomato, followed by S & P, half of the feta and one layer of julienned basil. Repeat (tomato, S & P, feta, basil).
- 6. Cover with a final level of tomatoes, S & P and the mayo/cheese spread. Try to cover the whole area, but don't fuss if it doesn't.
- 7. 400 degree oven for 35 minutes. Check for browning and bubbling on top. Let cool for 15 minutes.
- 8. Serve with light salad and tzatziki.
Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will ensure that your pie has the best possible flavor. To choose ripe tomatoes, look for ones that are a deep red color and have no blemishes.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense crust. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Blind-bake the crust before adding the filling. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will add flavor and texture to your pie. Some good choices include mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and goat cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients, the pie will be difficult to slice and may not cook evenly.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. This usually takes about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the pie cool slightly before slicing. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
Conclusion:
Fresh tomato pie is a delicious and easy-to-make summer dish. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and fresh tomato flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you have a bounty of ripe tomatoes, be sure to try this recipe. You won't be disappointed!
