Grilled Corn -

Ingredients

2 spray(s) cooking spray
6 medium corn on the cob, husked, silks removed
10 tsp light butter, or 2 2/3 Tbsp
4 tsp fresh lime juice, or to taste
1 tsp paprika, smoked variety
1/8 tsp table salt, or to taste
3 Tbsp cilantro, fresh, chopped

Instructions
Coat grill rack with cooking spray. Preheat grill to medium-high.

Grill corn, turning occasionally, until lightly charred in spots and tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, lime juice, paprika and salt; microwave on high until melted, about 20 seconds.

Put corn in a large serving bowl and drizzle with butter mixture and cilantro; toss to coat. Sprinkle with more lime juice and salt, if desired. Yields 1 ear of corn with about 1 1/2 teaspoons butter mixture per serving.

For an extra special touch, sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese.

Farro Salad
--------------------
Ingredients

3/4 cup(s) uncooked farro
1/4 tsp table salt, for cooking farro
2 cup(s) water
2 medium corn on the cob, kernels removed (about 1 cup)
3/4 cup(s) uncooked zucchini, diced
1/4 cup(s) fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup(s) reduced-calorie mayonnaise
1/4 cup(s) dill, fresh, chopped
3 Tbsp uncooked shallot(s), minced
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp table salt
1/8 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 medium plum tomato(es), diced (or about 1 cup diced ripe tomato)

Instructions
Combine farro, salt and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until farro is tender, about 20 to 30 minutes (pearled/semi-pearled farro cooks in 20 to 30 minutes while whole farro cooks in 60 minutes - check your package carefully); drain well. Spoon farro into a serving bowl with corn and zucchini; mix well and allow farro to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, shallot, vinegar, salt and pepper. Add tomatoes to farro mixture and then drizzle with dressing; toss to coat. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes for flavors to blend. Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes
This recipe can be made with many types of grains. Give brown rice, barley or wheat berries a try. Although we’ve added the corn and zucchini in their uncooked state, you can microwave them until tender or sauté them in a nonstick pan until lightly browned.

Farro is an ancient grain known sometimes as "hulled wheat" and is used in Italy and most mediterranean countries

1 medium banana pepper(s), cubanelle or other sweet pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
31 oz canned black beans, two 15.5 oz cans (undrained) (or you can cook your own beans from as you would when making rice and beans - you can add coconut milk too)
1 tsp table salt, or to taste
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2/3 cup(s) cilantro, fresh, chopped, divided
1 medium fresh lime(s), cut into 6 wedges

Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil; add rice and cook as package directs.

Stir in beans and their liquid, remaining 1/2 cup of water and salt; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer for flavors to blend, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vinegar and 1/3 cup of cilantro.

To serve, spoon beans over rice; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of remaining onion and 1/3 cup of remaining cilantro; squeeze fresh lime juice over top. Yields about 3/4 cup of beans and 1/2 cup of rice per serving.

Notes
Sprinkle with salt before serving, if desired

Re: Vegetarian cooking

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tulip</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Jazz, you add both the cubed and the mashed to the skillet. Shove it in there; it'll all fit and the cheese will catch what doesn't. I'll edit the recipe to clear that up and also to add &quot;cho cho&quot; lol. I forget who calls it what like <span style="font-style: italic">christophene</span> is what Trinis call it I guess. But when shopping in the farmer's markets here, it is called <span style="font-style: italic">chayote squash</span>.

The cheese and curry tastes surprisingly good together. Sometimes he used parmesan, but I liked the cheddar better. Think of it as paneer from the western hemisphere.

Going supermarket tomorrow - ingredients are already on my list (aldowe hubby doan like cho cho - lets see if this will change his mind)

Speaking of pasta, I was thinking about Italian dishes too. I have a really good ratatouille recipe, but it's on another laptop. (Yeah, I got curious and tested out some after that pixar movie lol.) I'll post it later. </div></div>

****Waiting patiently for Tulip to wake up and go work and come back home and post the recipe****
