Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Ingredients

  • 2 lb whole corn kernels canned, fresh, or frozen

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Take your jalapeños, cut them in half lengthwise, and pull the seeds from the jalapenos.
  • Place them on lined baking sheet and bake them until they are covered in brown burn spots like they have been grilled.
  • While this is happening, drain your corn and get as much moisture from them as possible.
  • Place 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a large high sided sauté pan.
  • Heat over a medium high heat and add the corn.
  • Sauté the corn until brown spots begin to form.
  • Do not cover the corn as you need to the moisture to evaporate to facilitate the browning.
  • Remove the jalapenos from the oven, and the corn from the sauté pan when finished.
  • Add to a large mixing bowl.
  • Add grape tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, limes juice, salt and black pepper.

  • Once chopped the corn salsa is ready to serve!

Notes

Chef Tips:
If you prefer your corn salsa more chunky, simply process the jalapenos, onion, and cilantro together. Do a loose chop on the grape tomatoes and then mix everything together.
