Green Corn Sauce
- 2 fresh Anaheim or Slim Jim chiles
- 1 fresh poblano chile
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- Roast the Anaheim and poblano chiles over a gas flame or under a broiler, turning often, until charred all over.
- Put the chiles in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam for 5 minutes.
- Peel the charred skin, allowing the juices to fall into the bowl.
- Discard the cores, ribs and seeds, coarsely chop the chiles and transfer to a small bowl.
- Strain the chile juices over the chopped chiles.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium nonreactive saucepan.
- Add 1/2 cup of the corn kernels and the chopped onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is wilted, about 4 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock to the pan and raise the heat to high.
- Boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the roasted chiles with their juices and the cilantro and season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
- Return the sauce to the saucepan and add the remaining 1/4 cup corn kernels.
- Bring the corn sauce to a simmer over low heat and whisk in the butter until incorporated; do not let the sauce boil.
- Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
