Description
This cheesy corn dip is perfect with tortilla chips. It’s modified slightly from the original recipe in Food & Wine.
Ingredients
1 pound frozen sweet corn kernels (3 cups), thawed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 poblano chile—stemmed, seeded, and finely diced
1 small onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Cilantro leaves, radish matchsticks, and thinly sliced jalapeños, for garnish
Corn tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
In a blender, puree half of the corn with ½ cup of water until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Discard the drained liquid.
In a cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the poblano, onion, remaining corn, a pinch of salt, and black pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened and barely browned, about 10 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the corn puree and cook, stirring, until bubbling, about 2 minutes. Add the cheese and cook over low heat, stirring, until melted. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Garnish with cilantro, radish and jalapeño. Serve hot, with tortilla chips.
