Corn and Poblano Pepper Dip
Equipment
- Stove
- Frying Pan
- Oven (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups 4-Ingredient Mexican Liquid Cooking Cream
- 2 Cups Cooked White or Yellow Corn
- 2 Whole Poblanos Poblano Peppers Oven Roasted or Stove Charred in strips
- 1 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes optional
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder optional
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder optional
- 1 Tablespoon Neutral Cooking Oil optional
Instructions
- Char the poblano peppers over an open flame on your stove, rotating them every minute or so. If you are using a stove this process should take 5 to 8 minutes. If you are using an oven to char your peppers you will need to char them at 350F for 35 minutes flipping them half way. I opted for the oven in this recipe because I had time to spare. So if you are in a rush use your stove top.
- Once charred your peppers should look similar to this. Now this step is optional but you will need to remove the blistered skin of the pepper. I let the peppers cool and then removed the skin. Alternatively, you can place them in a plastic bag on your counter to sweat and it will be much easier to remove the skins. But I am trying to minimize plastic in my home so this is the reason I let them cool.
- They should look like this.
- Cut your peppers into strips.
- At this point make sure you remove the kernels from the cobs if you are using fresh corn once cooked. Pro-tip: some stores already carry frozen white corn so you do what is best and easiest for your family.
- Pan fry your corn and peppers with or without oil for 5 to 8 minutes on a medium flame on your stove. Making sure nothing sticks. If you are not using oil add 1 tablespoon of water if you feel the ingredients are sticking.
- Add your cream, salt, onion powder, garlic powder and simmer for 5 to 8 more minutes. Simmer only until bubbly and serve as desired. If you like a spicy kick you can garnish your dip with red pepper flakes. Check out my Instagram page so you can see how I make red pepper flakes at home. I will link the video below as well.
