No white corn allowed. Yellow corn only,it tastes like corn should.IMO.We use chorizo from our local Carniceria the real stuff,here in NOR-Cal.Totally making this weekend after farmers market haul.
I would chop off the cilantro stems
Oh my! That looks delicious. Will have to try this recipe THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Yum!❤
Excellent!
Thumbnail doesn't match
I love too ❤❤❤😅😅
Prettiest cob of corn I’ve ever seen
Yum! I’m going to make this. 😋
I literally LOLed at Bridget's reaction!
No chiles !!😯
That's the most enthused I've gotten over a recipe for some time! Many thanks, you guys! /cheer
Where was Julia? And the pizza? Hiring I.T. and journalism college interns for free summer work? Tsk, tsk, I say!
Lawman has nice hands. 😊
'Elotes' in Mexican means Pizzas! 🍕
Now I still watched the whole thing, but I still wanna know how to make the French bread pizza.
Corn inspired skillet corn? huh? (elote = corn)
The random pizza in the thumbnail was perfect! Totally encapsulated what I could expect from another stellar episode 🙌
Why is the thumbnail Pepperoni Pizza!?
I went to your website to look for the recipe to make Crema. I cannot find it. I put in Crema or Mexican Crema and it does not come up. Does it exist?
Dude, you gotta roll up the sleeves to see more of the sleeves… haha 😂
Good Lord who has time to get the kernels off the cob? Leave it to ATK to complicate a simple recipe. Canned corn is good enough. And it's already on the pantry shelf. Frozen is better, if you have it. The pickled shallot is genius. Gotta start getting chorizo again.
there was a Pizza in the thumbnail…Wheres the pizza? lol
Those are not scallions. They are green onions.
Npr taught me that this is called cultural appropriation. It's apparently extremely racist. Glad my tax dollars won't support this.
So it's not pizza.. nice trick but feels lazy
Why yes! This recipe segment did end rather abruptly. The final 60 seconds:
Bridget: The shallots are incredible. Really, really bright. Ohh -so herby, too.
Lawman: The brightness of the shallots and the lime juice plays off that salty Cotija.
B: Again, I keep going back to the chorizo because I saw you rendering the fat in the pan. And it it all over everything. It's beautiful.
B: All the spices that are in the chorizo – it's a wonder ingredient because you don't have to add a lot more.
L: Exactly.
B: There's so much going on on this plate. Thanks so much, Lawman!
L: You're welcome.
B: Well, if you want to take summer corn and turn it into something spectacular, it starts by browning flavorful chorizo in a skillet.
B: Add corn, fresh oregano and then cook them until lightly charred.
B: And finish the dish with quick, pickled shallots, Cotija and crema.
So, from Cook's Country – Skillet corn with Mexican Chorizo.
B: You can get this recipe and all the recipes fro this season, along with product reviews and select episodes. And those are all on our…
B: Mmm!
Yum😋
"…[Y]ou wanna remove the casing, because, you can't eat that."
I beg to differ!
Lawman😊
Thank you!
Bridget never ceases to make me laugh. What a treasure.
