Grilled Corn and Tomatoes with Vegan Tonnato Sauce
- 2 loose tablespoons dried wakame seaweed
- Boiling water
- 1/4 cup silken tofu (about 3 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon yellow miso paste
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon nutritional yeast (see Note)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 ears of corn, shucked
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped basil
- 6 heirloom tomatoes, thinly sliced
- One 8-inch square sheet of nori seaweed, finely shredded
- In a small heatproof bowl, soak the wakame in the boiling water until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Drain, rinse and press out any excess water; pat dry.
- Transfer the wakame to a mini food processor and add the tofu, capers, garlic, miso, mustard, nutritional yeast and lemon juice.
- Process to a paste.
- Add the olive oil and process until fairly smooth; the wakame won't break down completely.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
- Light a grill.
- Brush the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill over high heat, turning, until tender and lightly charred all over, about 5 minutes.
- When the corn is cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the cobs into a medium bowl.
- Add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon juice and basil and season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the sauce on plates and top with the tomatoes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Spoon the corn salad over the tomatoes and garnish with the shredded nori.
