Farmers Market Mexican: Esquites

As tasty as grilled corn on the cob can be—you know, that grilled Mexican street snack slathered in mayo and sharp cheese—I think it's eclipsed by another street corn dish, esquites.

It's a brothy cup of corn kernels simmered with big handfuls of herby epazote. There's often mayo, too, stirred into the broth, making it creamy, along with a squeeze of lime. The chile can be fresh and green and simmered with the corn or it can be dried and powdered and sprinkled on, along with a delicious hit of fresco cheese.

In this backyard iPhone video, Rick shows you how to make it at home.
