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.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 ears of corn, husked
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 jalapeño

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

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.

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 Making the Best Southwest Grilled Corn Relish:

- **Choose Fresh, Sweet Corn:** Select corn on the cob with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid corn that has dried out or has blemishes. - **Grill the Corn Perfectly:** To achieve a smoky, charred flavor, grill the corn over medium-high heat until the kernels are tender and slightly blackened. - **Use Ripe, Juicy Tomatoes:** For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are firm and have fewer seeds. - **Add Fresh Herbs and Spices:** Cilantro, jalapeño, and cumin are classic Southwest flavors that complement the corn and tomatoes perfectly. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your desired level of spiciness. - **Balance the Flavors:** Make sure to taste the relish and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lime juice to balance the flavors. - **Chill Before Serving:** Allow the relish to chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Southwest grilled corn relish is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, tacos, burritos, and salads. With its smoky, charred flavor and refreshing combination of corn, tomatoes, cilantro, and jalapeño, this relish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
