Roasted Corn Salsa, With Tomatoes

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings: 3 -4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears of corn shucked and silks removed
  • Olive oil
  • 1/4 of a red onion finely diced
  • 2 medium tomatoes seeded and diced
  • 1 jalapeƱo seeded and diced (I leave a few seeds to give the salsa a little heat)
  • Handful of cilantro finely chopped
  • Juice of 1-2 limes
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Place corn on a rimmed baking sheet that is lined with tin foil (for easier cleanup). Drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper. Broil in the oven 15-20 minutes, or until corn kernels begin to char. Check every few minutes and use a set of tongs to turn the ears of corn as needed. Remove from the oven and let cool. Use a knife to carefully cut the kernels away from the cob. I like to stand each ear up on its end in a large bowl, I hold onto the top of the ear of corn, and use a knife to slice the kernels away - that way my fingers are safe and the kernels fall into the bowl, rather than fly all over the counter.
  2. Combine the rest of the ingredients and let rest for 30 minutes or so in the fridge for the flavors to combine.
