This paleo version of delicious tangy Mexican Street Corn is quite literally, a Street Corn Named Desire
Yeah, I said that.
But the tasty guiltlessly paleo version of my very non-paleo love, street corn, has me just about delirious. (Hey, I'm a midwest girl, I'm allowed to be this excited about corn..and its substitutes)
And get this-I made traditional street corn and the paleo version and took them both to a friend's for a cookout/side-by-side taste test, and my non-paleo friends loved both.
Most importantly, I love the paleo version and so will you!
| Ingredients: - 2 heads of cauliflower (this is your corn) - 2 Tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic salt - 1 bunch of cilantro, chopped - 1/4 Cup lime juice - 1 1/2 cups plain Icelandic Skyr or if you can't find that, full fat plain greek yogurt (this is the crema base) - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon black pepper - 1 Tablespoon paprika |  but first, someone explain why this corn on the cob is bleeding (from the traditional street corn I made and unrelated to this recipe, it was just weird and I needed to share) |
 | Directions: 1. Chop the cauliflower into rough florets. 2. Toss the florets in a food processor. 3. Heat the olive oil and garlic salt in a frying pan |
| 4. Pulse the cauliflower into corn-kernel size pieces. Seriously, pulse it. Carefully. If you turn the processor on and walk away, you will end up with very sad paleo mashed potatoes. 5. Add the cauliflower to the hot pan. |  |
 | 6. Cook the cauliflower, stirring frequently with a spatula or wooden spoon. This should take just under 5 minutes. Keep it al dente. Notice the cauli will take on a bit of an ecru or mother of pearl tint once it is cooked. |
| 7. Put your cooked cauliflower in a large bowl. Add the skyr or yogurt and mix, then stir in the lime juice. This is going to create the tangy drema element of the street corn. 8. Mix in the salt and pepper 9. Next, stir in the cilantro |  |
10. Sprinkle the paprika over the top and you're all set-Delicious Mexican Street Corn made paleo!
This amount will easily serve 6 as a side, but I bet it'll be gone fast. Enjoy, you deserve it!
