Quick recipe so here it is:
1 ear corn, grilled.
8oz shishito peppers, sliced into thin coins.
1/2 medium white onion, fine dice.
3 cloves garlic, sliced thin.
1 tbsp olive oil.
1 Cup heavy cream.
1 Tbsp white miso.
Salt & pepper to taste.
Grill the corn, cut off the kernels.
Put the pan on medium high heat, add in the oil. Toss in the peppers, onions, and garlic, stirring to ensure they do not burn. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until the peppers are soft and bright green. Add in the cream, allowing it to bubble and continue to stir.
After about 2 minutes it will start to reduce and thicken, stir in the miso with a fork so it incorporates into the cream. Add the corn. Continue to stir until it's almost fully reduced, then remove from heat. Taste and season.

in order to make the tostone patties after frying the plantains the first time I would use my burger press to smash a bunch of them together before frying again to golden brown....hit those with some salt or your favorite sweet heat BBQ spice.(check my stories)..........the chicken thighs were dry rubbed in the mixture described below (2-4 ) hrs before grilling off.......now the CHOCOLATE BACON GRAVY!... Render off a package of bacon...remove the bacon and add the chocolate, sugar, flour mixture below to the fat to make a CHOCOLATE BACON ROUX!..then slowly add some milk till you get the right consistency......the slaw had a vinaigrette of roasted garlic, chili, lime, and is key to providing the acid to rounding out the bite..
