Creole Roasted Fresh Corn-Tomato Salsa
- 2 ears of fresh corn
- butter or olive oil for brushing
- Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning for dusting
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, quartered
- 2 scallions, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced and zested
- 1 jalapeno or red chili, finely chopped
- .50 ounces cilantro, chopped
- Light the grill and while that warms up, shuck each ear of corn and brush with butter {or olive oil if you prefer} and sprinkle a generous amount of Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning on all sides of the corn until covered.
- Wrap each ear of seasoned corn separately and cook on the grill for 10 minutes, rotating every 2-3 minutes.
- While the corn is cooking, chop and add the remaining ingredients to a mixing bowl. {Tip: Use only half a jalapeno or chili if you prefer a milder salsa}.
- Once the corn is done, let it cool slightly and then stand on the flat end of the cob and take a sharp knife down length of the corn to remove all the kernels.
- Add the bowl and toss well to break up the corn and mix all the flavors together. Serve in a bowl or to jazz it up a bit, take a tablespoon and fill tortilla chip "scoops" individually on a plate.
