Roasted Corn Salsa

My friend Jenny made this recipe for us last year and I loved it. Never got around to making it last summer but have made it twice in the last few weeks! YUM!! Great reason to hit up the local Farmers Martket! Enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 3 ears corn, shucked
  • 4 medium tomatoes (about 1 1/2 lb.), chopped
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • salt and black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

  1. Grill corn, turning often, until kernels have softened and are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool, then cut off kernels from each ear (you'll have about 3 cups).
  2. In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, tomatoes, onions, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce. Add parsley and stir well. Chill until ready to serve.

Tips from a Kitchen of Reality

- The last time I made this I actually used frozen corn. Cooked it in the microwave according to directions, drained it to remove as much water as possible and then threw it in a hot frying pan with a little bit of oil until it browned up. Not as good as fresh corn on the grill, but still really good, and a great time saver.
