Black Bean, Corn, and Tomato Relish image

This relish (otherwise known as a salsa) has its roots all over Latin America and the Caribbean. Use freshly roasted sweet corn for best results, but canned or frozen corn can be used during those times when fresh corn is unavailable.

Categories     Salsas

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 ears fresh sweet corn (or 1 cup frozen corn)
2 Tbsp butter
1 15-oz can(s) black beans, drained
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Carefully peel back the corn husks and remove the "silk" from inside. Soak the corn in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes. Drain the corn and pat dry.
  • 2. Rub the butter over the corn kernels and fold the corn husks back into place around the cob.
  • 3. Grill over hot coals or under a preheated broiler for 15 to 20 minutes, turning about every 5 minutes.
  • 4. Allow to cool, peel the husks and cut the corn off the cobs. Combine with the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
  • 5. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

The relish was good, but it was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

This relish is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less jalapeno.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The relish was still delicious.

This relish is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. I always have some black beans, corn, and tomatoes in my fridge, so this is a great way to use them up before they go bad.
