Ingredients:
-1-ear Fresh corn kernels roasted
-1 cup Heavy Cream
-½ cup Corn Meal
-½ cup Matzo meal
-3 Tbls Flour
-1 tsp Baking Powder
-Pinch Cayenne Pepper
-Salt & Pepper
-¼ of medium Red Pepper diced
-¼ of medium Green Peppers Diced
-½ Minced Habanaro pepper
-Diced Onion
-1 Tbls Chopped Cilantro
-2 Tbls Diced mangos
-1 tsp Honey
-1 tbls Olive oil
Cut corn from the cob and roast in a 400-degree oven until golden brown.
Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In a hot skillet sauté diced onion, habanaros and half of the red and green peppers. The rest of the peppers along with the mangos and cilantro will be used as a garnish at the end.
When the onions turn clear place the mixture and the roasted corn in the bowl with dry ingredients. Add the honey and heavy cream and stir.
The consistency should be like very thick pancake batter. In a hot cast-iron skillet add a little oil and place approximately 1-2 ounces of mixture in the pan.
When you see the edges of the cake turn slightly brown flip them over with a spatula. Total cooking time should be around 2-4 minutes.
Try not to over cook the cakes, if they are a little soft in the middle the better.
Place on a plate and top with the remaining peppers, mango, avocado crème and chipolti cream sauces.
