Yield Makes 12 (3/4-cup) servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
Two 6-inch corn tortillas
1 poblano chile
3 cups corn kernels, thawed if frozen
1 1/2 cups 2-percent milk
1/2 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup diced onion
1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
3/4 cup grated reduced-fat Cheddar (about 3 ounces)
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
3 tablespoons masa harina de maiz (see tip, below)
1 teaspoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 8-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line outside of pan with foil to prevent batter from leaking and place on cookie sheet (see tip, below).
  • Place tortillas directly on oven rack and toast, turning halfway through, until crisp and dry, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then grind finely in clean spice grinder or small food processor. Set aside.
  • Using tongs, hold poblano over stovetop burner on high heat, turning frequently, until blackened all over, 5 to 10 minutes. (Alternatively, roast under broiler, turning and watching carefully.) Place in medium bowl, cover with plate, and let steam until cool enough to handle, 10 to 15 minutes. Using paper towels, wipe away charred skin. Cut out and discard stem and core. Halve pepper lengthwise, scrape out seeds, and dice half pepper, reserving remainder for another use. Set aside diced pepper.
  • In food processor, purée 2 1/2 cups corn and 1/2 cup milk until smooth. Set aside.
  • In medium skillet over medium heat, warm oil. Add onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and slightly softened, about 30 seconds.
  • Transfer onions and garlic to large bowl. Add ground tortillas, diced poblano, puréed corn, remaining 1/2 cup corn, remaining 1 cup milk, remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt, eggs, cheese, sour cream, masa harina, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Scrape mixture into pan and bake until center is just set, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan on rack. Carefully invert pan onto serving platter and release sides. Remove bottom of pan (now on top) and serve.

INDIAN CORN PUDDING



Indian Corn Pudding image

I had never tried Indian Corn Pudding before I went up to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center here in Albuquerque. This is another of Richard Hetzler's creations. I rarely, if ever eat eggs or dairy, but wanted to try a little taste. It was good, but I think I would like the corn to be a bit crunchier as I found it kind of chewy. If I did make this I would make it Vegan. Please note, I didn't include the grilling time for the corn in this recipe.

Categories     Corn

Time 40m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ears corn (grilled, kernals removed)
1 cup heavy cream
3 eggs
2 teaspoons honey
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 teaspoons garlic (fine chopped)

Steps:

  • Clean the corn and grill. Test the kernels making sure they are cooked.
  • Then let it cool and remove the kernels from the cob.
  • Take 1/2 the corn kernels and place them in the heavy cream with the chopped thyme, honey and garlic. Puree with a hand blender.
  • Add eggs and remaining corn kernels and season with the salt and pepper.
  • Place in a baking dish and bake at 325'F in a water bath until the cener is firm. About 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from pan and cool slightly before serving.
  • Bon Appetit!

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn on the cob is best for this recipe, but frozen corn can also be used. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the corn: The corn should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked corn will make the pudding grainy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give the pudding the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as cheddar and Monterey Jack.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the pudding. You can also add some chopped green chiles or jalapeños.
  • Serve immediately: Indian corn pudding is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.

Conclusion:

Indian corn pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn, and it is also a good source of protein and fiber. With its creamy texture and cheesy flavor, Indian corn pudding is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
