Chipotle Grilled Corn Puree

Chipotle Grilled Corn Puree

  •  

Inspired by our friends at Lottē, this Chipotle Grilled Corn Purée is a smoky, spicy dish that brings the vibrant flavors of grilled corn and chipotle peppers together in a velvety purée. Start by preheating your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to a fiery 500ºF. Grill shucked ears of corn directly on the grates, turning frequently until each side is lightly charred, which takes about 8 minutes. Once grilled, carefully cut the kernels from the cobs, scraping the “corn milk” into a Vitamix Food Processor for extra creaminess. Blend the corn with chipotles in adobo until you achieve a mostly smooth consistency. Transfer this mixture to a dutch oven, stir in Cattleman’s Grill Road House Seasoning, and simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, reducing the liquid to intensify the flavors. Turn off the heat and gently fold in room-temperature butter, wildflower honey, lime juice, and zest, creating a rich and balanced purée. Mix in half of the crumbled cotija cheese, reserving the other half for garnish. Serve warm, topped with the remaining cotija and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, offering a perfect blend of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors in every bite.
