Charred And Herbed Corn Salad With Crab Recipes

CHILLED CORN AND CRAB SALAD

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add corn, and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in onion. Let cool.
• Whisk together lemon juice and sugar. Drizzle in remaining tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons oil, whisking until combined.
• Combine corn-onion mixture, chile, crabmeat, and basil. Gently stir in lemon dressing, salt, and pepper. Cover, and refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). Serve garnished with basil leaves.

SHREDDED CHARRED CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the cabbage, carrots and onion into a bowl. Season with salt, then add the vinegar and sugar, and toss to combine. Leave for 20 mins for the vegetables to very lightly pickle.
• Meanwhile, cook the corn on a hot barbecue or griddle pan for 4-5 mins on both sides until the kernels have darkened and charred slightly. Set aside to cool. Once cool, hold the cobs upright on a board and strip off the kernels in long downward strips using a sharp knife.
• Stir the mustard and half the corn into the salad and taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Serve topped with the remaining corn.
