From 'Tu Casa Mi Casa' by Enrique Olvera
This dish is as cheap and practical as it as satisfying and warm.Ingredients
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ white onion, finely chopped
- 1 serrano chilli, left whole
- 3 large sprigs fresh epazote
- 300g fresh white (or blue) corn kernels
- 710ml water
- Salt
- To Serve:
- 110g mayonnaise
- 115g queso fresco
- 1 tbsp chilli powder
- 8 lime wedges, for squeezing
Recipe
- In a large pot, heat the oil over a medium heat. Add the onion, serrano chilli, and epazote and cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- Meanwhile, rinse the corn kernels in a colander under cold running water for about 30 seconds.
- Add the corn to the pot along with the water and 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring to a boil over a high heat, reduce to a simmer, and cook uncovered for 30 minutes, until the corn is tender. Season to taste with salt.
