Mexican Corn Pudding Served With Smoky Chipotle Sauce
- Butter for greasing the dish
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs to coat the bottom of the dish
- 8 medium-sized ears of corn, kernels removed from the cob
- 1 cup butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 6 large eggs
- 4 ounces queso fresco
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
- FOR THE SAUCE:
- 3 peeled cloves garlic
- 4 medium tomatillos, husked, rinsed and cut in half
- 2 canned chipotle chiles en adobo
- salt to taste
- PREP: Preheat the oven to 350. Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and then cover the bottom with an even layer of bread crumbs. With a sharp knife, cut the corn off of the cobs into a large bowl (or the bowl of a food processor if you have one).
- COMBINE: Add remaining ingredients to the corn and stir to combine. If you are using a food processor, pulse until mixture is smooth. If you do not have a food processor, puree the mixture in batches in a blender until smooth.
- COOK: Pour the corn mixture into the baking pan and bake 1 hour.
- WHILE CORN PUDDING COOKS, MAKE THE SAUCE: Lay garlic and tomatillos (cut-side down) in a non-stick skillet and saute over MEDIUM HIGH heat until tomatillos are brown, about 4 minutes. Turn over and brown the other side. Transfer everything to a blender. Add chiles + 1/4 cup water and blend until coarse. Season with salt to taste. Pour into a serving bowl and serve at room temperature.
- SERVE: Serve corn pudding warm with smoky chipotle sauce drizzled to taste. It is nice and hot, so start off with just a little.
