Combine charred cherry tomatoes with fresh corn and cilantro for a delicious relish that adds a burst of color and flavor to grilled fish, chicken, pork, and other dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 pint mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes
- 2 ears white corn
- 2 Serrano peppers, seeded and minced
- 2 medium shallots, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- ⅓ cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped coarse
- Sea salt, to taste
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Place cherry tomatoes in freezer for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight.
Shave kernels from corn cobs, then mix with Serrano peppers and shallots.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron or heavy-duty skillet until it begins to smoke. Carefully add cherry tomatoes then shake skillet back and forth for about 1 minute. Tomatoes will begin to blister and pick up spots of color. Add corn, peppers, and shallots, stir to combine, and cook 1 more minute.
Remove from heat, then sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sherry vinegar. Fold in cilantro and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chilled, hot, or at room temperature.
