Yesterday I had a few extra minutes to slowly browse through Trader
Joe's to search out what new items I hadn't seen before. In the
frozen food section there was a bag of 'roast corn'. It looked good
in the picture, so I bought a bag.

We're generally careful about carbs, except when entertaining. I know
corn is a high carb food item but I'd like to incorporate it into
something for dinner. My mind is blank other than cornbread. Any of
you have any ideas that would highlight "roasted" corn? Has anyone
tried this stuff?

Ginny

Salsa? or Heat and serve in a bowl with butter?

Just sauté is butter and add lime juice - powdered Pico De Gallo (ground chili)
optional.

Pice de gallo is a mixture of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and fresh chilis -
it is not ground chili.

I'd just roast ears of corn on the cob whole, with the husk on.
Remove husks after cooking and serve as usual. FAR superior to boiled
corn! They are also fine microwaved that way.

I pretty much live low carb most of the time now, but whole roasted ears
of corn are an excellent treat now and then, in season......

Interesting product, but the jar does read, "Pico de Gallo Mexican Seasoning
For: Melons, Mangos, Oranges, Papaya, Cucumbers, Corn, Coconuts, Jicama".

It does not purport to actually be "pico de gallo".

Which is why I specified the powder with the original post.

Roasted corn and lime is SENSATIONAL! Until you try is one just doesn't know.
The powder is hot so be careful.

Just because one company uses the term wrong does not change its real
meaning. In any case, knowing that the term always, or almost always, refers
to the tomato/onion.etc mix, it is inappropriate to use it in a recipe as
you did without making clear what you mean.

For your information the Royal Academy in Spain
http://www.hermestrans.com/19112001en.html has held for many years that a
native speaker in incapable of making a "grammatical error" due to the fact that
the person is in fact a native speaker. Since the product is in and of itself a
Mexican product created for ethnic cuisine I would hold that the term Pico De
Gallo (translated "beak of a rooster"😉 in this case has more that one meaning as
do many other idiomatic expressions within the Spanish language as spoken in
Mexico.

Wrong term my ass..

I'm sure you can find it easily.

I used to live in Mexico - ergo my Mexican cooking is not bad even if I do say
so myself. A few years ago one of my daughters wanted Mexican food for her
birthday dinner. I decided to pick up the stuff I needed at a local Mexican
Semi-Super Market called Tres Sierras. Saturday morning I zip into the store,
grab a cart shop all the aisle and get what I need. Now I do not look Mexican,
Really!

The grocery checker looked at me then looked at the food, looked at me once
again and the food one more time and determined I must be Mexican and she
started speaking Spanish to me. I chuckled inside and we spoke nothing but
Spanish for the total transaction. I guess we all have ways of judging people.

We do, indeed. I often find interesting what combinations of food items
people have in the shopping carts, though often it doesn't appear to be a
meal in sight. :-)

Yea... but corn isn't in season in my neck of the woods. I do LOVE
fresh corn on the cob.

Do you suppose that's a seasoning mix for *making* some version of pico
de gallo?

Me too! We live in a rural area of England, and a certain river we go to
spend some sunny days, has a huge corn field right next to the farm track to
it - any ears that poke through the fence and get broken off/stems snapped
by passing farm vehicles have become fair game for me - we often roast them
on those little disposable BBQ's down by the river, salt and butter them and
munch away - tastes at its VERY best when cooked immediately after picking,
and this is about as fresh as it gets.

I think roas corn would be excellent by itself with some butter, S&P. It
would also be good as a corn relish or corn salsa when served with grilled
meats. Got this off of Google and it sounds easy and good. I'll try it
with some TJ's roast corn this week sometime.

Corn Salsa:

Corn salsa with purple onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, cilantro
and lime juice.
INGREDIENTS:

2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1/3 cup chopped purple onion
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 to 2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
PREPARATION:

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4
hours. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving. Serve corn
salsa with grilled meat or poultry.
Makes about 3 cups corn salsa.

This recipe sounds like a keeper to me. I plan to use it before the
end of this week. Thanks!

No I think they are just trying to create a popular name that most people
recognize. It's good marketing. Do you purchase Facial tissue or Kleenex?
