Poblano and Corn Omelet

Meg found this recipe for creamy corn with poblanos. We made it for ourselves, loved it and then made it for a family dinner where it was a big hit.

Today, in an effort to use up poblanos, a couple day old ears of corn and make a nice savory brunch to ward off the affects of Irene, we morphed this recipe into an omelet.

Of necessity, laziness and whim, we made a couple of modifications including passing up the roasting/peeling part for the poblanos in favor of just sauteing them. We also gave in to the desire to use some smoky Spanish paprika that we brought home from this stall in La Boqueria in Barcelona several months ago. This proved to be a key addition to an already delicious recipe.

In the end the dish may have been more similar to the original than you would imagine given that the addition of six eggs. Absolutely delicious and a good fit for the rainy day.

Buvez: Definitely an excuse for a nice beer, we choose to go with the Homunculous from Smuttynose and were quite delighted.

Escuchar: I've been enjoying the live early Bowie album Santa Monica '72 that I stumbled on recently via Spotify. For our brunch, we listened to a recent album by Mike Garson - who played piano on that 1972 show in Santa Monica - called Bowie Variations. It was a perfect fit!
