Southwest Corn, Chili, and Cumin Sauté
Need Head to the store and pick up butter, lime juice, poblano chilies, and a few other things to make it today. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for The Super Bowl. This recipe is typical of American cuisine. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes approximately 45 minutes. These Southwest style egg rolls are delicious.
Instructions
Char poblano chilies directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop chilies. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add cumin seeds and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add onion and sauté until almost tender, about 6 minutes.
Add corn, oregano, 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies, and poblano chilies and sauté until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in radishes, 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice, and lime peel. Sauté until radishes are slightly softened but still retain their color, about 2 minutes.
Add more chipotle chilies by 1/2 teaspoonfuls, depending on spiciness desired. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro.
Garnish with lime wedges, if desired, and serve.
* Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
** Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz are my top picks for Chili. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. You could try Marques de Caceres Cava. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.
