Cheesy Shells With Tomatoes And Corn Recipes

Steps:

• In a 6-qt. stockpot, cook tortellini according to package directions, adding corn during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Drain; transfer to a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients; toss to coat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir until tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper; cook until corn is tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat., Unfold puff pastry sheets. Using a floured 4-in. round cookie cutter, cut 4 circles in each sheet; place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Whisk together egg and water; brush over pastries. Spoon 2 tablespoons corn mixture onto each circle. Top with tomatoes and cheeses., Bake until golden brown and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• Make the Cheddar crust: In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour and salt until well combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. There will be visible pieces of butter, but they should be quite small. (You can also do this in a medium bowl with your fingers or a pastry cutter.) Add the shredded cheese and pulse to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, make a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the ice water. Toss the mixture with your hands to distribute the water throughout the flour. Once the mixture becomes very fine crumbs, knead it a few times until it comes together. If there are portions of the dough that are more hydrated, use your hands to break them up, then incorporate the drier portions of the dough. The dough should not be totally smooth, or overly wet. If needed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together easily in a ball.
• Form the dough into a 1-inch-thick disk, and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 days.
• Make the filling: Heat the oven to 400 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. On a baking sheet, combine the tomatoes, melted butter and olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the top rack of the oven and roast until the tomatoes have become wrinkly, the skins have browned slightly and they've collapsed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool completely. (You can complete this step in advance and refrigerate for up to 5 days.)
• When the tomatoes have cooled completely, gently transfer them to a medium bowl. If they've released a lot of liquid, drain the tomatoes in a colander before placing in the bowl. Stir the corn kernels and scallions into the tomatoes; season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a round about 1/4-inch thick and about 17 inches wide. Roll up the dough onto the rolling pin, wrapping it around the pin, and gently transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet; unroll. (It will be larger than the baking sheet in the some places; just allow the excess to drape over the edge of the pan.)
• Gently transfer the cooled tomato and corn mixture to the center of the dough and spread into an even layer, leaving the outside 2 inches uncovered. Working a little bit at a time, fold the outside edges over the filling, pleating the edges as you work.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water together to combine. Brush the egg wash around the outside edge of the crust.
• Transfer the pie to the lower rack of the oven and bake until the crust is deeply golden brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve directly on the baking sheet, or use the parchment paper to slide it onto a cutting board, then slide the parchment away to slice and serve. Serve warm or at room temperature, and garnish with basil just before serving.

Steps:

• Cut a thin slice off the top of each tomato; scoop out and discard pulp. Sprinkle salt inside tomatoes if desired. Invert on paper towel to drain. , Combine the bread crumbs, corn, green pepper, celery, onion, cream and butter; spoon into tomatoes. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Pour water into the baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until tomatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts on a board, cover with a sheet of baking parchment and bash with a rolling pin to a 1cm thickness. Tip into a large bowl with the buttermilk and 1 tsp heaped salt, turning to coat. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for 4 hrs or overnight.
• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Tip the tomatoes onto the baking sheet with the garlic and thyme. Drizzle over the olive oil, season and roast for 50 mins-1 hr, or until soft but holding their shape.
• For the corn, heat the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat until foaming. Add the shallot, reduce the heat to low and fry for 10 mins until softened. Cut the kernels from the corn cobs and add these to the pan along with 125ml water. Simmer for 5 mins, then add the cream and simmer, uncovered, for 5 mins more. Remove from the heat, blitz the mixture to a rough texture with a hand blender, then stir through the cheese and season to taste. Set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, wiping away any excess using kitchen paper. Tip the beaten eggs into a shallow bowl, put the flour in a second and the panko in a third. Dip each marinated chicken breast into the flour, then the egg and lastly the panko. Heat the oil in a large skillet or non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat and fry the breaded chicken breasts for 5-6 mins on each side or until golden and cooked through (you may need to do this in batches). Gently reheat the creamed corn, then serve with the schnitzel and roast tomatoes.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter until melted.
• Slowly whisk in flour until blended, and then slowly add in the milk. Bring mixture to a boil and continue stirring until it starts to thicken. Add in cheese, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
• Add macaroni to the sauce and stir until completely combined.
• Serve topped with extra parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of pepper.
