TOASTED CORN SALSA



Toasted Corn Salsa image

Resist the urge to substitute frozen corn for fresh in this delightfully crunchy salsa recipe from "America's Test Kitchen Healthy Family Cookbook." Be sure to use a nonstick skillet when toasting the corn, and for a spicier version, add the jalapeño seeds. You can make this ahead and refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Just season with additional lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste before serving.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     condiment

Time 1h15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 vine-ripe tomatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 ears yellow corn, husked, silks removed
1 poblano pepper
1/2 large yellow onion, quartered
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt
1/2 cup cilantro leaves, plus leaves for garnish (about 1/2 bunch)
1/4 jalapeno, seeded
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 to 3 tablespoons lime juice
Lightly salted tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Add the tomatoes, corn, poblano, onions and garlic cloves to the prepared baking sheet. Toss with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove the garlic, flip the poblano and corn over and continue roasting for another 15 minutes, until charred and the tomatoes have softened and begun to split. Let cool for at least 20 minutes.
  • Peel the garlic. Remove the skin and stem from the poblano (remove the seeds, too, for a milder salsa).
  • Add the roasted tomatoes, poblano, onions and garlic to a food processor, along with the cilantro, jalapeno, coriander, cumin, 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Process until the mixture is evenly combined but still has some texture (similar to crushed canned tomatoes). Remove to a bowl.
  • Cut the corn kernels from the cobs and stir into the salsa. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lime juice.
  • Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate until ready to serve (see Cook's Note). Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with tortilla chips.

ALMOST-FAMOUS CORN SALSA



Almost-Famous Corn Salsa image

Fans of Chipotle restaurants will wait in notoriously long lines for the chain's made-to-order burritos. (Yes, we're guilty, too; there's a location right across from our office.) Founder Steve Ells, a former San Francisco chef, hit on a magic formula with his concept for a mix-and-match taqueria: He opened his first Chipotle in Denver in 1993 and now has nearly 1,100 locations. Ells came up with all the recipes himself, including this popular corn salsa. If you get lucky at the restaurant, your burrito maker will pile on a little extra. If you don't, you can make this recipe from Food Network Kitchens - and eat as much as you want.
