Ingredients
1 4 plump ears of corn
1 5 ancho chilies, -- stems
Directions
: removed, seeded
2 ts ground cumin
1 ts ground coriander
1 ts ground Mexican oregano
2 TB corn oil
1 lg onion, finely diced
4 garlic clove minced
12 oz bottle Mexican beer
3/4 c chicken stock
: Salt
: Lime juice
Cut kernels from corn cobs and set aside; you should have 2 cups of
whole kernels. With the back of a knife, scrape down cobs to remove
liquid and pulp. Reserve in a small bowl; you should have a 1/2 cup
of corn puree.
Soak chilies in hot water to cover until soft. Drain, reserving
soaking liquid. In a blender combine chilies, cumin, coriander,
oregano and tortillas. Blend, adding just enough reserved chile
liquid to make a thick paste. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high
heat. Pour in chile paste and fry for about 3 minutes, or until it
thickens. Add onion, garlic and corn kernels and fry 2 minutes more.
Add corn puree, beer and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, and simmer
for 40 minutes, or until mixture is thick and flavorful. Season to
taste with salt and lime juice

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of meal recipes back into antiquity, in truth as far back into recorded history as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. However, in the main part, these ancient cook books were just very basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing food.
Later on, we find some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century ; one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another entitled `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, these two books are nothing to do with the curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food prepared for the rich and wealthy people of that time. Later on in the 1400s, people returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from Arab cuisine, such as parsley and basil. The introduction of these new tastes led to a surge in manuscripts on food, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The introduction of the TV gave us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our web site. |
We hope you enjoy this Corn Chili recipe.
