Corn and Red Pepper Relish
- 2 ears Corn, Kernels Removed
- 1 whole Red Pepper, Very Finely Diced
- 1/4 cups Red Onion, Finely Diced
- 1 Tablespoon Minced Cilantro
- 2 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons Turbinado Sugar
- 2 dashes Hot Pepper Sauce
- Salt To Taste
- Fill a medium sized sauce pot about 7/8 full of water and place over high heat.
- Season with salt and bring to a boil.
- In a medium bowl, make an ice bath by adding a few handfuls of ice and some cold water.
- Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and place corn kernels in a fine mesh strainer.
- When the water is boiling rapidly, dip the strainer with the corn kernels in the boiling water so that the corn is just submerged but still contained in the strainer.
- Let the corn cook for about 30 seconds.
- Pull the strainer with the corn kernels out of the water and let it drain over the pot briefly.
- Then immediately transfer the strainer (with the corn kernels still nestled in the bottom) into the ice bath to cool for 2 to 3 minutes.
- This is called shocking, which halts the cooking process and ensures you dont end up with mushy corn.
- Combine the blanched corn with the remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
- Serve with tortilla chips!
