Smoky Corn Red Pepper Relish Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED CORN RELISH

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine all of the ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until thickened. Store in the refrigerator.

CREAMY CORN AND PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium.
• Place corn in foil, sprinkle with water, wrap and put on the grill, with the red and pablano peppers. Char the peppers, remove, peel and dice for relish. Remove the corn to a cutting board, cut off the kernels and reserve in a medium bowl.
• Add oil to a large skillet and saute the garlic and onion. Saute for a minute, then add the roasted and fresh peppers, tomatoes, and corn heat for another quick minute. Add cream cheese and stir in milk very slowly until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth. Pour into a serving bowl, fold in cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve garnished with chives.

SWEET PEPPER AND CORN RELISH

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add corn, bell pepper, and onion. Saute until onion softens slightly and corn is tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in lime juice, brown sugar, lime zest, and cayenne pepper. Remove the relish to a bowl and cool slightly. Stir in green onion and parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

SMOKY CORN-RED PEPPER RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat a grill: If using a charcoal grill, make a fire in your grill. When the charcoals are completely covered in gray ash, hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grid; count how many seconds you can comfortably leave it there. When you can hold your hand above the grill for 2 to 3 seconds, you have medium-high heat and are ready to grill. If you are using a gas grill, heat the grill for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Before beginning to cook, reduce the temperature by turning the knobs to medium-high.
• Place bell pepper on grill and grill on all sides until skin is black and blistered, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer pepper to a paper bag, fold bag closed, and set aside.
• Place corn on grill and cook on all sides until tender and beginning to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer corn to a cutting board and remove kernels from cob; you should have about 1 1/2 cups kernels. Transfer corn to a medium bowl and set aside.
• When pepper is cool enough to handle, gently peel the skin from the pepper. Cut pepper in half lengthwise; remove seeds, ribs, and stem. Chop pepper.
• Transfer chopped pepper to bowl with corn, along with basil, oil, vinegar, and garlic; toss until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
