Margarita Corn & Rice
This is a fun twist on some corn and rice. Be sure you salt the rims of your serving bowls. Just rub the edge of a cut lime all around and dip into a plate filled with coarse salt. I started by oven roasting my corn to get some nice browning action on it. Butter, salty, yummy! Then, I heated some oil, shallots and rosemary to infuse the oil! Smells absolutely delish! Add in your roasted corn, some brown rice, some tequila and let it simmer down to perfection. Serve it up in your salt rimmed bowls or glasses with fun lime twist!
