Servings: 6

Preparation duration: 15 minutes

Cooking duration: 25 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

2 corn cobs, husks still on, OR 2 cups of cooked corn (Trader Joe's has frozen roasted corn which would work great)

1/8 teaspoon cumin

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 jalapeño, minced (remove seeds for less heat)

3-4 Tbsp lime juice

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 cup finely diced red onion

2 teaspoons salt

3 pounds of tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed clean

Equipment:

grill

knife

food processor

Cooking instruction summary:

1 Prepare grill for direct, high heat. Place the tomatillos directly on the grill. Turn occasionally until charred in several places, and the color indicated the tomatillos are cooked and changes from vibrant green to olive green.2 If you are grilling the corn as well, place the corn cobs, still in their husks, directly on the grill. (If you are using fresh corn, there is no need to soak them in water.) Grill until the husks are completely charred and blackened all around. The flavor from the charred corn husks will cook into the corn as it grills. Remove from grill. Let cool. Strip off the burnt husks and silks from the corn cobs. Use a sharp knife to cut away the corn kernels from the cobs.3 Place the tomatillos, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, cayenne, cumin and oregano in a food processor. Pulse until puréed, with a few remaining chunks of tomatillos.4 Stir in the corn and minced red onion. Adjust seasonings, add more salt to taste.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
