Tonight's evaluation - pork chops w/ roast corn salsa and caramelized corn purée

So, tonight's dish was all about corn. How did it go?

What worked:

The salsa - yummy and simple...roughly equal parts roasted corn, avocado, sliced leeks, and diced tomato, along with a couple of tablespoons of lime juice, a little cilantro, and salt and pepper.

The chop - pretty basic. Dredged in flour, the dipped in egg wash and panko.

What didn't work:

The purée. Flavor was good, but texture was all wrong. Way too thin after being pushed through strainer.

How to fix it:

Fix the purée. The immersion blender was probably the wrong tool choice. Use a food processor or standard blender to purée more thoroughly, adjust seasoning on the purée.
