Best Corn Chip Serrano Relish Recipes

BOBBY FLAY'S BLACK BEAN SOUP WITH CREMA AND THREE RELISHES RECIPE

Steps:

• White Corn Chips with Tomato-Serrano Relish: Heat oil to 365 degrees. Fry chips in batches and drain on paper towels, salt while warm. Combine tomatoes and serranos in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grilled Onion Relish: Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat. Brush onion slices with olive oil and grill on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes or until lightly charred and cooked through. Remove and chop finely. Tortillas with Avocado-Tomatillo Relish: Fry tortillas in oil, drain on paper towels and salt while warm. Gently combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toasted Cumin Crema: Place a small saute pan over medium high heat and heat until almost smoking. Add the cumin seeds and toast for 1 to 2 minutes. Place the seeds in a coffee grinder and grind to a powder. Place the crema in a small bowl, add the ground cumin and lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Soup: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, sweat the carrots, onion and garlic for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add the wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced. Add the beans. Reduce the heat to medium, add the jalapeños, poblano, and water and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the beans are cooked through. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Remove half the mixture and puree in a food processor, then return it to the pot and stir well. Serve: Ladle soup into individual bowls. Drizzle with the Toasted Cumin Crema and top with a tablespoon of each of the relishes. Serve immediately. This recipe yields 8 servings.

SWEET PEPPER AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add corn, bell pepper, and onion. Saute until onion softens slightly and corn is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in lime juice, brown sugar, lime zest, and cayenne pepper. Remove the relish to a bowl and cool slightly. Stir in green onion and parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

SWEET CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Cook corn in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; let cool completely. Strip kernels from cobs with a sharp knife.
• Meanwhile, combine vinegar, 1/3 cup water, brown sugar, mustard and coriander seeds, and 1 teaspoon salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in onion, celery, and bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn kernels and jalapeño; simmer 1 minute more. Carefully transfer mixture to a 4-cup-capacity or two 2-cup-capacity jars. Top with more vinegar, if necessary. (Liquid should fully submerge corn mixture and reach about 1/2 inch from top.) Let cool completely, then cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 1 month or can with our helpful instructions.

REFRIGERATOR CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add corn. Boil 3 minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water. When corn is cool enough to handle, pat dry and cut kernels from cobs. Set aside.
• In a medium-size, heavy pot combine vinegar, sugar, water, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, celery seeds and salt and bring to a boil. Stir until sugar has dissolved and add onion. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Add peppers, garlic and chile and simmer for another 5 minutes. Stir in corn and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and pack into hot sterilized pint jars. Seal and allow to cool. Store in the refrigerator.

CRANBERRY-SERRANO RELISH

Steps:

• Cook 1 diced red onion in 1 tablespoon canola oil in a saucepan over high heat until soft. Stir in 1 grated peeled 2-inch piece of ginger and 1 diced serrano chile; cook 30 seconds. Add 1 cup water and 1/2 cup sugar; cook until the sugar dissolves. Add half a 12-ounce bag cranberries; cook until the berries pop and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Add the rest of the cranberries; cook 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in 2 tablespoons honey, the grated zest of 1 lime, and salt and pepper. Let cool slightly, then stir in 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.

ROASTED CORN OFF THE COB, CRANBERRIES, AND CANDIED SPANISH PEANUT RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Coat each ear of corn in olive oil and sprinkle with salt, to taste. Put the ears of corn on a sheet pan and roast for 30 minutes.
• In a saute pan, heat the sugar until it starts to melt. Add 1 stick of butter and let that melt as well. Once the butter and sugar melt together, add 1/4 cup of water. When the color of the mixture begins to turn amber, add the peanuts and cook until the peanuts are completely coated with the syrup mixture and candied (they will have a bronzed color).
• Remove the corn from the oven and let cool. Cut the kernels off the cob as close to the cob as possible.
• Add the cranberries, candied Spanish peanuts, corn, and cilantro to a serving bowl. Toss and serve.
