Categories     side-dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 to 14 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 fresh or frozen ears of corn, husks removed
One 15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/2 jalapeno or serrano chile pepper, seeded and finely chopped (wear plastic gloves when handling)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 2 large or 4 small limes)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch chili powder
2 cloves garlic, pushed through a press
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Hot sauce, preferably Crystal Hot Sauce

Steps:

  • For the salad: Preheat a grill on high for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium high and grill the corn, with the cover closed and turning occasionally, until some kernels are black, about 12 minutes. Remove and allow the corn to cool slightly.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels into a very large, deep serving bowl. (Hold the narrow end of the cob, point the other end into the bowl and cut downward, so that flying kernels are trapped by the bowl itself.) Add the black beans, chickpeas, cilantro, green and red bell peppers, onions, chile peppers, salt and pepper to taste to the bowl and toss.
  • For the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, sugar, salt, vinegar, cumin, chili powder, garlic and olive oil in a small bowl. Season to taste with hot sauce.
  • Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to thoroughly coat. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, toss again and serve. The salad can be made a day in advance, covered and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

GRILLED CORN RELISH RECIPE



Grilled Corn Relish Recipe image

I loved how this all came together. The first taste was of sweet and tangy corn, but the sweetness slowly fades, giving way to the heat from the jalapeno and an earthiness from the chili powder and cumin. The "relish" can double as a dip for tortilla chips, salad topping, or taco condiment-it'll add excellent flavor to whatever it touches.

Categories     Salsa     Condiment     Sauce

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ears of corn, husked
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 jalapeño
1 medium red pepper
6 green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon lime zest
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Light one chimney full of charcoal. While the charcoal is lighting, lightly butter each ear of corn, then season with salt and pepper. Wrap each ear in aluminum foil.
  • When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread the coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place the corn, red pepper, and jalapeño on the grill and cover. Grill red pepper and jalapeño until they start to blister, but not blacken, on each side. Grill corn until it's lightly charred all over. Remove pepper, jalapeño, and corn to a cutting board as they are done.
  • Brush green onions lightly with oil and place on the grill. Cook until softened and lightly browned on both sides. Remove to cutting board.
  • In a medium bowl, cut kernels off each ear of corn. Seed jalapeño and red pepper, then dice and add into bowl with corn. Thinly slice green onions and add into bowl with corn and peppers along with cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, chili powder, and cumin. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but thaw it completely before using.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Be sure to let the corn cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This will make it easier to handle and less likely to fall apart.
  • If you want a spicier relish, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • This relish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob.

Conclusion:

Southwest Grilled Corn Relish is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, condiment, or even as a dip. It's perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks, and it's sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a new way to use corn on the cob, give this relish a try!
