Instructions
To create your Creamy Sweet Corn and Jalapeno Dip, start by preparing the sweet corn: in a pressure cooker, combine the sweet corn with a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Close the lid and cook for about 3 to 4 whistles, ensuring the corn is perfectly tender. Once the cooking time is complete, turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally. After the pressure has fully released, carefully open the cooker and allow the corn to cool slightly.
As the corn cools, reserve 2 tablespoons of the cooked kernels for later use. The remaining corn will be blended into a creamy dip. In a mixer jar, combine the boiled sweet corn, roasted walnuts, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, pickled jalapenos, and extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste. Pulse the mixture at intervals, allowing the ingredients to meld together until you achieve a texture that suits your preference—whether you enjoy a chunky dip or a smooth consistency.
Once you have reached the desired texture, transfer the creamy dip to a serving bowl. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top for an added touch of richness. To garnish, sprinkle the reserved sweet corn kernels and a few parsley leaves, creating an inviting presentation.
This Creamy Sweet Corn and Jalapeno Dip pairs wonderfully with homemade pita bread or cheese crackers, making it an excellent choice for an evening snack alongside a warm cup of coffee. Additionally, it’s a perfect addition to your kids’ lunch boxes, providing a tasty yet nutritious option they’ll love.
