Grilled Chicken Chili Verde And Corn On The Cob With Chipotle Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Pull husks back on corn. In a small bowl combine the chipotle, lemon zest and juice and butter. Rub half the butter on corn and pull the husk back up. Grill corn for 3 minutes per side.
• Serve with remaining butter.

Steps:

• Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced chipotles, fresh lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to low and cook chipotle butter 1 minute to blend flavors.
• Place ears of corn on baking sheet. Brush corn all over with chipotle butter. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover corn and refrigerate.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill corn until cooked through and blackened in spots, turning frequently, about 6 minutes. Serve corn with lime wedges.
• Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, heavy cream and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and set out at room temperature for 3 hours.
• In a large stockpot filled with water, soak the ears of corn for 20 minutes. Remove the ears from the water, shake and tightly squeeze the husks against the kernels of corn to get rid of any excess water.
• In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup of the prepared cream mixture with the chipotle chiles and puree until smooth. Reserve the rest of the cream mixture for another use. Set aside.
• Turn a grill to high and close the lid. After 15 minutes, lower the heat to medium-high. Place the corn on the grill rack and grill for 5 minutes. Turn the corn over and grill for another 5 minutes. Remove the corn from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 more minutes. In the meantime, keep your grill on with the lid closed.
• Take the grilled ears of corn and pull back the husks, exposing the kernels but keeping the husks attached at the bottom. Increase the grill temperature to high and place a sheet of aluminum foil on one side of the grill. Place the pulled-back husks over the foil, allowing the exposed kernels to sit on the grill grates. (This is done so the husks don't burn before the corn can char.) Close the grill lid and allow the kernels to char so become dark and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Then turn the corn and char the other side. Remove the corn from the grill. Serve immediately alongside the chipotle crema, crumbled cheese and lime.

Steps:

• Light a medium-hot grill while you prepare your corn. Remove the outer leaves of the husk, leaving two layers. Gently pull down the remaining leaves, pull off the silk and fold the husks back up, covering the corn. Cut 12 to 24 pieces of butcher's string about six inches long, and moisten them with water. Tie the cobs at the top and midway down with the wet string. Place in a bowl or a sink full of cold water, and soak for 15 to 30 minutes while you prepare the chipotle dip.
• Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mash to a smooth paste. Add the chipotle, and mash together with the garlic. Stir in the chipotle sauce, mayonnaise and yogurt, and mix together well.
• When the coals of your grill are medium-hot, remove the corn from the water and pat dry. Place on the grill, and grill until the corn is uniformly charred, turning the ears often. This could take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the heat. Remove from the grill and, holding onto the ears with a kitchen towel, cut away the strings and remove the leaves. Wrap the corn in a kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Serve with the chipotle dip. Place a generous spoonful on a plate, and roll the corn in it or spread it on the corn with a knife.
