Roasted Corn And Garlic Couscous Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Trim and partially shuck corn by cutting off any long silk from the top and removing and discarding the outer layer of husk.
• Place corn directly on the middle rack of the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove and discard husks and silk. Slice kernels off with a knife.
• While the corn is roasting, place couscous in a heat-proof bowl with green onion, bell pepper, jalapeno, and olive oil.
• Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Pour boiling stock over couscous mixture and cover tightly with foil. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• Uncover and stir in roasted corn kernels, cotija cheese, lime juice, and basil. Season with chili-lime seasoning.

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil.
• Add couscous, butter and salt.
• Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
• Topping: In a shallow pan, heat oil.
• Cook garlic until it begins to brown.
• Add rest of spices, cook for 30 second and remove from heat.
• (Alternately, you could use ready made"roasted garlic olive oil", and add the thyme and pepper).
• Mix topping with couscous, serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together curry powder, mustard, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons oil; whisk until emulsified. Set aside.
• Place couscous in a large bowl. Bring 1 cup water to a boil; pour over couscous; stir to combine. Cover with a plate; let steam until water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; set aside.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in garlic and chile; cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add corn, and cook until bright yellow and just tender, about 2 minutes. Stir corn mixture into couscous. Add curry vinaigrette and cilantro; toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Cut off and discard top quarter of each garlic head. Place garlic in small baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Cover dish with foil and bake until garlic is tender, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool garlic slightly. Squeeze garlic out of papery skins, letting garlic fall into small bowl. Mash with fork. Stir in butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Roasted garlic butter can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before using.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Brush corn lightly all over with remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Grill corn until brown in spots, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Serve hot, passing roasted garlic butter separately.
