Ingredients
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
4-5 ears fresh corn, shucked, kernels removed (about 3 cups fresh corn kernels)
1 package Abbot’s Butcher “Chorizo”
2 ounces (60g) vegan feta cheese
1/3 cup finely sliced scallions
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 jalapeño pepper, minced
¼ cup vegan mayonnaise
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Chile powder, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste
Description
Subtly sweet fresh summer corn balances smoky plant-based “Chorizo” and creamy, cool nondairy feta in this showstopper side dish. Serve as an appetizer or pair with greens for a refreshing and filling main meal.
Method
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry the corn until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a separate non-stick skillet, cook the “Chorizo” according to the package instructions. Add to the same bowl as the corn.
Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
