Recipe Tips

How to Remove Corn Kernels from the Cob
Cut off the tip from the cob to flatten the end. Stand the cob upright on the flat end. Using a very sharp knife, cut downward, removing 3 or 4 rows of corn at a time.
Other Ways to Roast Corn
Ears of corn can also be cooked on the grill, in a cast iron skillet or under the broiler.
Substitute
Substitute 1 large red pepper for the poblano chile.
