Garden-fresh corn is one of summer’s simple pleasures. Sweet and crisp, it’s the perfect canvas for a variety of flavors. If summertime has you up to your ears in corn, here are three new ways to get corn on the table.
1 – Elote – We love this Mexican street food treat, and we simply can’t get enough! We use Dark la Mesa Chili Powder and Cilantro Lime Extra Virgin Olive Oil for flavor that really helps the sweet corn shine. Eat right off the cob or cut and use as a Hot Dog Topping. The flavors and textures are simply perfection.
2- Sweet & Smoky Corn on the Cob – Smoked Extra Virgin Olive Oil pairs up with Smoked Tomato Blend to turn corn on the cob in to a sweet, sweet situation. Bake, steam or grill the corn, then slather on the buttery – smoky – spicy spread. Serve these alongside Steakhouse Burgers. Big flavors. How sweet!
3 – Corn on the Cob with Ancho Butter – Sweet summertime corn on the cob meets salty-buttery ancho goodness. We combine Ancho Chile Powder with salt, butter and Sweet Smoked Paprika. When the corn is golden charred and juicy hot, slather on this butter. It’s corn! And it’s so yummy!
