Title: Rack of Pork, Taters, and Street Corn
Post by: Pappymn on April 07, 2015, 06:57:44 PM
Brined the rack of pork overnight. Made a paste of fresh rosemary, thyme, and olive oil. Rubbed all over the pork.

Put it on the Weber Performer at around 350 degrees. Pulled when the IT hit 140 degrees.

I had Street Corn a couple of weeks ago for the first time when I was in San Diego. I really liked it. I found a couple of recipes.

Verdict : didn't taste right. Not sure where I went wrong.

This was a great meal. Pork was crazy moist.

The pork looks really tasty.  I love corn and taters, too.  Not sure about your "Street Corn", however.

Nice looking meal, Pappy. Not sure why you didn't like the corn - plate sure looks good up here in BP!

Good looking meal.

Corn looks good to me, but hot sauce can make anything taste better or just make it so hot you can't actually taste what you are eating :P

That chop looks crazy good.

Was the street corn you had in San Diego the Mexican style?

It was Tent. I had to use feta instead of catija cheese, as I couldn't find it. This may have been my problem with flavor

Aha...  Feta is kinda, sorta close, but doesn't have that aged flavor.  Next time try some Parmesan, because Cotija cheese is basically the same same as Parmesan.

Ironically, the reason I know that is the guy who owns the Mexican restaurant we frequent is from Cotija, Mexico where that cheese is made.

I actually found some today with the help of the Hispanic ladies at Trader Joes. They pointed me to a local grocery store that had it. I'm going to give it another try.

And don't forget the chili powder and lime juice as condiments! ;)

When you get the street corn on the cob in Mexico, it is roasted, smeared with mayo as a glue, then covered in cotija, then dusted with chili powder and lime juice is squeezed on it. Lots of flavor happening!

Anything made that way needs fresh lime juice - wakes it right up!
