Steps:
- Heat grill to medium hot. Place peppers on grill, and cook, turning, until skin is black all over, 5 to 10 minutes for jalapeno and 10 to 15 minutes for red pepper. Place grilled peppers in a brown paper bag; let stand about 10 minutes. Remove peppers from bag, and peel away and discard charred skin; rinse your fingers from time to time under cool running water, if necessary, but do not rinse the peppers. Remove and discard stems and seeds. Mince jalapeno, and transfer to a large bowl. Cut red pepper into 1/4-inch pieces, add to jalapeno, and set aside.
- Place ears of corn directly on grill. Cook until brown and tender, turning often, about 10 minutes. Remove from grill, and let cool slightly. Use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob; add to peppers.
- Add lime juice, black beans, parsley, red onion, garlic, olive oil, and cayenne to corn and pepper mixture, and toss well. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, in-season corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn kernels, but be sure to thaw them 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 cut and will also prevent the kernels from sticking to your knife.
- If you want a spicier salsa, add a jalapeño pepper or two to the recipe. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- For a creamier salsa, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. You can also add a handful of chopped cilantro or parsley.
- Serve the salsa immediately with tortilla chips, grilled chicken or fish, or tacos.
Conclusion:
This grilled corn and bean salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for summer gatherings and potlucks. The salsa is also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. If you're looking for a tasty and healthy recipe, give this grilled corn and bean salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
