Almost-Famous Corn Salsa
- 1/2 small poblano chile pepper, seeded
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears), or 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Brush the poblano with 1 teaspoon olive oil and grill, skin-side down, until charred but still firm, about 5 minutes.
- Cool slightly; peel and finely chop.
- If using fresh corn, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the corn and cook until tender, 2 to 3 minutes; drain.
- Mix the corn (if using frozen, add it here), poblano, jalapeno, cilantro and red onion in a bowl.
- Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, the lime juice, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
