Recipe: Corn and Poblano Relish on the menu at Monday's Humble Feast

Devra Gartenstein, the Quirky Gourmet, is staging a Humble Feast dinner tonight, Monday, August 7, 2017, at her Patty Pan restaurant, 15550 27th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155, 5:30 - 7:30pm.

"Patty Pan's Humble Feast is a series of community-based dinner events featuring local ingredients sourced primarily from area farmers who are our friends and neighbors at the markets. 

"But these dinners are also a practical attempt to answer the question: how can we eat well without busting our budgets?"

Advance tickets are $10 - $12 at the door.

Tonight's feast - a taco bar - and here's the relish that will be served.

Corn and Poblano Relish
Makes 3 cups

2 ears of corn
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, sliced
2 poblano chiles, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon chili powder, mild or hot
½ teaspoon salt
Juice of one lime

Boil enough water to cover the corn in a medium-size saucepan and cook the corn for 4 minutes. Drain. When the corn is cool enough to handle, scrape the kernels from the cob.

Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add the onion, poblanos, chili powder, and salt. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the corn kernels and lime, and mix well.
