Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Servings: 8-10
Ingredients:
- 8 corn on the cob, shucked
- 1 C. jasmine rice, cooked
- ½ C. sweet onion, diced
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup Yellowbird Habanero Hot Sauce
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- 1 Tablespoon cilantro
Instructions:
- Shuck, wash, and cut corn kernels from the cob. Save and use the cobs in stews or for compost.
- Add 1 cup jasmine rice to 2 cups water, bring to a boil, and simmer until cooked, or use a rice cooker. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add butter, onion, rosemary, and corn. Saute for 10 minutes. Add Yellowbird Habanero Hot Sauce and remaining tablespoon of butter. Stirring occasionally, cook until corn is charred, about 8-10 minutes.
- Using a 3” oiled ring mold, plate the cooled jasmine rice inside to ¾” high, top with three ¼” slices of avocado, and fill the remaining area with hot corn. Pack firmly and carefully remove ring mold.
- Garnish with hand-torn cilantro and a healthy drizzle of Yellowbird Habanero Hot Sauce. Serve and savor.
