Roasted Supersweet Corn Salsa Recipes

ROASTED-CORN SALSA

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the corn kernels from the cobs. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until almost smoking. Add one layer of kernels and dry roast, tossing continuously, until the corn is smoky and dark, about 5 minutes. Put the corn in a large bowl; repeat until all the corn is cooked.
• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the corn, then the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Season to taste with additional salt. Serve at room temperature. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 days.
