Vegetarian Mexican feast with crispy tortilla chips, coriander cream, and vibrant corn salsa.
Ingredients:
  • 4 corn cobs, husks and silks removed
  • 18.40 gm vegetable oil
  • 10.00 gm ground cumin
  • 1 medium (about 200g) red capsicum, halved, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  • 21.00 gm fresh lime juice
  • 2 fresh red birdseye chillies, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • Pinch of salt
  • Vegetable oil, to shallow-fry
  • 10 flour tortillas, halved, each half cut into 3 wedges
  • 300g light sour cream
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, leaves and stems coarsely chopped
Instructions:
  • Carefully slice down the sides of the corn cobs near the core to release the kernels.
  • In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add corn and cumin, cook and stir for 5 minutes until corn is tender and golden brown. Transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Combine the capsicum, onion, lime juice, chili, and garlic with the corn, stirring well. Taste and season with salt to enhance the flavors.
  • Heat a 2cm depth of oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Fry one-quarter of the tortillas for 30 seconds on each side until light golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to transfer tortillas to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas in 3 more batches, reheating oil as needed.
  • For the coriander cream, combine sour cream and fresh coriander in a food processor. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides as needed. Season with salt to taste, then transfer to a serving bowl.
  • Arrange tortillas elegantly on a platter and accompany them with a dollop of coriander cream and a side of salsa.
