Grilled Corn on the Cob with Lime Butter

From: FoodNetwork.com

Wine Pairing: Shannon Ridge Chardonnay High Elevation

Yields: 12

Ingredients

  • 12 ears fresh corn, unshucked
  • 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 limes, zest finely grated
  • 1 bunch fresh chervil, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 pound queso fresco, finely grated
  • 1/4 cup Ancho Chile Rub, recipe follows, or cayenne pepper

For the Ancho Chile Rub:

  • 3 ancho chiles, seeded and hand-torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
  2. While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Spread the queso fresco onto another plate.
  3. Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.

For the Ancho Chile Rub:

  1. For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don’t scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

Strawberry Mango Pound Cake Shortcakes

From: Foodnetwork.com

Wine Pairing: Gancia Moscato D’ Asti

Yields: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and finely chopped, about 2 cups
  • One 16-ounce container strawberries, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime zest
  • One 10.75-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • Two 14-ounce containers pineapple coconut ice cream or your favorite tropical flavored ice cream, such as mango or dulce de leche

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the mango and strawberries with the lime juice, sugar and lime zest. Let sit, tossing occasionally, until the fruit is very juicy, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. When the fruit is ready, slice the pound cake into 12 equal pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Sprinkle half the coconut in 6 small piles in the skillet and place a slice of pound cake over each pile of coconut. Cook, pressing down with a spatula, until the coconut is toasted and the pound cake is warmed, about 3 minutes. Flip and toast on the second side of the pound cake slices until warmed, about 1 minute more. Transfer each slice to a plate, scrape out any leftover coconut in the skillet so it does not burn and repeat with the remaining butter, coconut and pound cake slices.
  3. To assemble, evenly divide the fruit with the accumulated juices among 6 slices of toasted pound cake. Top with a large scoop of ice cream, about 1/2 cup each, and a second slice of pound cake.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound unsalted butter
  • 1 pound plus 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • 6 extra-large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons instant coffee granules
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups chopped walnuts

Directions

  2. Butter and flour a 12 x 18 x 1-inch baking sheet.
  3. Melt together the butter, 1 pound of chocolate chips, and the unsweetened chocolate in a medium bowl over simmering water. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, stir (do not beat) together the eggs, coffee granules, vanilla, and sugar. Stir the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and allow to cool to room temperature.
  4. In a medium bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Add to the cooled chocolate mixture. Toss the walnuts and 12 ounces of chocolate chips in a medium bowl with 1/4 cup of flour, then add them to the chocolate batter. Pour into the baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, then rap the baking sheet against the oven shelf to force the air to escape from between the pan and the brownie dough. Bake for about 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Do not over-bake! Allow to cool thoroughly, refrigerate, and cut into 20 large squares.
