CHIPOTLE CORN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Coat the inside of a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add in onion and chipotle; saute about 2 minutes, until the onion begins to soften.
• Add in the flour; whisk until white bubbles form on the vegetables.
• Cook the flour for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn the chipotle.
• Gradually add the milk and sugar and bring to a boil, whisking constantly.
• Add in corn; stir to blend.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared dish; sprinkle cheese over the top.
• Preheat oven to 350°; Bake for 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is golden brown; serve hot.
• Make Ahead or OAMC: after step 7—cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

• Variations: Parmesan-Crusted Corn Casserole with Sun-Dried Tomatoes—substitute ¼ cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes for the chipotle and freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the cheddar.
• Green Chile Corn Casserole: substitute one 4-ounce can chopped green chiles, rinsed and drained, for the chipotles, and substitute pepper Jack cheese for the cheddar.
• Creamy Herbed Corn Casserole: omit the chipotle and add 2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon to the onion while sautéing; substitute either shredded Gruyere or sliced Brie cheese for the cheddar.

Steps:

• Heat a burner of a gas stove over high heat. Place the poblano pepper directly over the flame. Using tongs, rotate 3 to 4 times until charred all over, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap. Let rest for 10 minutes. Remove from the bowl and rub the pepper all over with a paper towel to remove as much of the charred skin as possible (don't worry if a little charred skin is left on the pepper!) Remove the stem and seeds and chop up the flesh. Transfer to a medium bowl.  Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and season generously with salt. Add the ears of corn and boil for 3 minutes. Remove the corn from the pot and let it cool to room temperature. Slice the kernels off the cob and add them to the bowl with the poblano peppers.  Add the jalapeño, onion, cilantro, lime and lemon juice, kosher salt and black pepper.  Mix well to combine. Serve with tortilla chips.
