Oh salsa-like thing, come and sit on my knee, honey.\u00a0 You are the finest salsa-like thing ever. YES.\u00a0 It’s true.<\/p>\n
Seriously, this was awesome.\u00a0 We had soft tacos tonight with chipotle black beans, avocado, and this corn salsa-thing and my god it was delicious. I totally expected the chipotle beans to be my number one love of the night, but they faded into insignificance in the face of the corn.\u00a0 I ate a couple of tacos and then just sat there eating the corn with a spoon.<\/p>\n
It’s a simple dish, riffing off this recipe for caramelized corn with fresh mint <\/a>on from the Wednesday Chef<\/a>.\u00a0 But its flavour is complex, intriguing, intense without being overwhelming. It’s a little crisp, setting off the beans and avocado perfectly.\u00a0 It’s my new favourite thing and I’ll be making more tomorrow and possibly the day after that.<\/p>\n \u00a0Corn, chili and mint salsa-like thing<\/strong><\/p>\n 2 cobs of corn Cut the kernels off the corn cobs. Halve the chilli, remove the seeds (or not, to taste), and finely chop.\u00a0 Finely chop the mint leaves.<\/p>\n Heat a glug of garlic-infused olive oil in a frypan over (the high end of) moderate heat.\u00a0 Add the corn and chili, and cook, stirring now and then, until the kernels are crackling and jumping in the pan, and getting browned in places.\u00a0 Remove from the heat and add the lime juice and a big fat pinch of sea salt, and stir through.\u00a0 Add the mint and toss.\u00a0 Serve warm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh salsa-like thing, come and sit on my knee, honey.\u00a0 You are the finest salsa-like thing ever.
