THE BEST CHARRED CORN SALSA
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large ears of corn
- ¼ red onion, diced
- 2 ripe tomatoes, seeds slightly removed and diced
- 1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro (coriander) chopped
- 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed)
- Olive oil to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
- The only real work is in grilling the corn. (The corn could be steamed, but the grilling gives it a huge flavour punch). Grilling the corn over charcoal brings out the best flavour. (Try leaving the husk on until it is a little charred. Remove the husk and put it back on the grill to give it a roasted colour, turning it as you go. If you are using a grill plate go straight to peeling it and grilling until the colour turns.
- Once grilled, slice corn from the cob.
- Add to the remaining ingredients and stir.
- Taste and add more seasonings as needed.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Serve immediately. This recipe will keep covered in the fridge for several days, but is more delicious freshly made.
