Avocado Corn Relish
- 3/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (5 to 6 ears)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 avocados, peeled and seeded
- 4 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled and seeded (see Note)
- 4 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
- Cut the avocados, bell pepper and roasted poblanos into 1/4 inch dice.
- Add to the sauted corn along with the scallions, vinegar and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Mix well and let sit 20 to 30 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Serve at room temperature.
- Corn relish can be stored, tightly covered, in the refrigerator up to 1 day.
- To make 2 to 3 days in advance, mix all the ingredients except the avocado and store in the refrigerator.
- Add the avocado shortly before serving.
- Yield: 6 cups
- Note: Fresh chiles and bell peppers can be roasted over a gas flame or on a tray under the broiler.
- Keep turning so the skin is evenly charred, without burning and drying out the flesh.
- Transfer the charred peppers to a plastic bag, tie the top closed and let steam until cool to the touch, about 15 minutes.
- (If you are rushed, you can place the bag in a bowl of iced water to speed things up.)
- The best way to peel is just to pull off the charred skin by hand and then dip the peppers briefly in water to remove any blackened bits.
- Do not peel the pepper under running water since that will wash away flavorful juices.
- Once peeled, cut away stems, seeds and veins.
