Mexican Street Corn and another try at Mititei/Mici

I set aside a couple of the grilled corn on the cob from last week's barbecue and finally got around to making the dish I had planned ... Mexican Street CornIt's a remarkably easy dish which can add flavour and moisture even to corn that's no longer at its peak in terms of flavour and texture because it's been sitting in your fridge for a day or

You did it to me again! We just had street corn for the first time this past weekend. it was pretty darn incredible. Now I have a recipe! :D

Very interesting 'sausages' - I will await for next entry for the recipe! :D

There are a number of recipes for mititei or mici (aka cevapci) out there which are all good. Youtube videos show how to make them ... it's the taste and texture that I'm trying to replicate to make them similar to the mixture of meat and spices that I can buy locally. To be honest, good ground beef, lots of finely minced garlic, some summer savory, ground pepper and salt, a bit of baking soda and seltzer water and lots of mixing until you get a stiff paste is about all that's essential. Then there are the add-ins that each family prefers including minced/grated onion or onion powder, cumin, all-spice etc. ;)

I will add this to my recipe file, then. I need to experiment more. I've been doing a lot with Spanish tapas this week and this seemed to just fit right in.
