Cheesy sweet corn is a simple meal inspired by the Italians. It is a quick, delicious warm salad made with smoke paprika and sharp cheese. The ingredients allow for a mix of hot, salty and sweet flavours.
4 cans of Tante's sweet corn
2 green onions, thinly sliced, whites/light greens and dark greens kept separate
2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for grill
1 tbsp. fresh lime juice, plus wedges for serving
1 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. sauce from canned chipotles en adobo
1/4 tsp. smoked paprika
1/8 tsp. ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Shredded cheese (one 6-oz. bag)
Prepare a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, toss the Tante's corn with the green onion whites and light parts, oil, lime juice, garlic, chipotle, adobo sauce, paprika, and cumin and season with salt and pepper.
Grease the pan with cooking spray. Spoon the corn mixture evenly in the grill pan and top it with the cheese.
Cover the corn mixture completely with foil paper, seal all edges.
Put the pan in the grill and close the grill cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, until corn is crisp-tender and everything is bubbly inside the pan. Remove from the grill and carefully open the foil cover - there will be steam.
Sprinkle with scallion greens and serve.
