CHARRED CORN AND BLACK BEAN SALSA



Charred Corn and Black Bean Salsa image

This charred corn salsa came about when I wanted to make use of some leftover ingredients after making a Mexican dish the night before. Broiling a few of the ingredients up front and using fire-roasted tomatoes gives it a nice smoky flavor. The recipe as-is will yield a salsa on the spicier side of mild. Alter the spice level by increasing or decreasing chili powder to taste. Serve with chips or use in any recipe that calls for salsa.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ear corn, shucked
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus extra for rubbing the corn
1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
2 ripe but firm avocadoes, pitted and diced
One 15.5-ounce can black beans, drained
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 teaspoon agave syrup
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
Juice of 1 to 2 limes
1 serrano chile, seeded and finely diced
Pinch cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.
  • Rub the shucked corn with olive oil and place onto the grill and cook until nicely charred on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Allow to cool slightly prior to removing the kernels and transferring to a large bowl.
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, avocados, black beans and onions to the grilled corn kernels.
  • Mix together the 2 tablespoons olive oil, agave, cumin, garlic, lime juice, serrano, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste in a separate bowl. Whisk together, as you would to make a vinaigrette, and pour over the corn mixture. Mix together gently so everything is coated well, and then fold in the cilantro and scallions.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe corn: This will give your salsa the best flavor.
  • Char the corn before using: This will add a smoky flavor to the salsa.
  • Use a variety of beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Add some chopped vegetables: Tomatoes, onions, and peppers are all good choices.
  • Season the salsa to taste: Salt, pepper, and cumin are all good options.
  • Chill the salsa before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
