Best Corn And Spinach Tower With Isabel Tuna Recipe 55 Recipes

GARLICKY CREAMED CORN AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is hot, stir in the corn and the starchy liquid scraped from the cobs. Cook for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, then add the cream and nutmeg, stirring occasionally, until very creamy, about 15 minutes. Add the spinach and stir until wilted. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.

CHAR-GRILLED TUNA WITH TOASTED CORN VINAIGRETTE AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• To make the tuna, combine the lemon rind, rosemary, basil, garlic and ginger in a large bowl and toss with the tuna. Let marinate at least 1 hour. Heat a grill, preferably using hard wood.
• To make the vinaigrette, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium-size cast-iron skillet. Add the corn and cook until brown. Add the red onion and scallions and cook until translucent. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and orange juice and remove from heat. Slowly stir in the remaining olive oil and the herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature.
• To make the salad, divide the greens among 4 plates. Cut each piece of avocado lengthwise into thirds, leaving the narrow ends intact. Fanning out the slices, lean 2 slices against the outside of each salad.
• When the grill is hot, season the tuna on both sides with the salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Place on the grill and cook until tuna is charred on the outside and medium in the center, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from heat and slice each piece into quarters. Drape 4 slices of tuna across the top of each salad. Spoon the vinaigrette over the top, garnish with cilantro leaves and serve immediately.

SEARED TUNA WITH TOMATO AND ROASTED CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Roast the Corn
• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Put the corn kernels on the baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, and black pepper to taste. Spread the corn out evenly on the baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. You want the corn to take on a golden brown color. It may seem that you have left the corn in the oven for too long, but you want the corn to caramelize and get a little crunchy. Remove the corn from the oven and set aside.
• Prepare the Salsa
• While the corn is roasting, combine the tomatoes, scallions, cilantro, and avocado in a bowl. Finely grate the zest of 1 lime and add it, along with its juice, to the bowl. Toss well.
• Once the corn is ready, toss it in the tomato mixture and season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Set aside.
• Prepare the Tuna
• Using a paper towel, pat dry the tuna steak and season with a dusting of salt and cayenne.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the tuna and cook to medium-rare, turning once. The time it will take for the tuna to cook depends on its thickness. If you're able to get a thick piece of tuna (about 1 1/2 inches thick), allow the tuna to sear for 4 minutes on each side for a medium-rare doneness. Thinner steaks will cook in less time. Ultimately the tuna's thickness and your preferred level of doneness will determine how long to cook the fish.
• Assemble the Dish
• Cut the remaining lime into wedges. Serve the tuna along with the tomato and roasted corn salsa and garnish each serving with a lime wedge and sprigs of cilantro.
• Cooking Notes
• INGREDIENTS
• Frozen Corn
• If you are using frozen corn, measure the amount needed before defrosting.
• Tuna Steaks
• Try to buy a very thick piece of tuna-ideally 1 1/2 inches thick. This will allow you to achieve a nice olden brown crust while maintaining a rare center.
• TECHNIQUES
• Searing Tuna
• Searing fish on a hot griddle or skillet is the best way to achieve a golden crust while maintaining a moist interior. While grilling is very popular, I find that it dries out the fish too much. To properly sear, make sure you start off with a hot pan and oil. Place the meat in the pan and leave it alone until it develops a golden brown crust.
• Roasting Corn
• For this recipe, you are looking to do more than just cook the corn through. You want to caramelize its sugars-making it sweet-and change its texture- making it crunchy. Leave the corn in the oven until its color changes from yellow to a deep golden brown.
• ADVANCE PREPARATION
• The salsa can be made up to a day in advance, although it is best to keep the corn separate so as to maintain its crunchy texture.
• The tuna can be made a couple of hours ahead of time, stored in the refrigerator, and served at room temperature.
