Spicy Corn Salad Recipe
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ medium red onion, minced (about 1 cup)
- 1 small habanero chile, seeds and veins removed, minced
- ½ cup minced bell pepper (multicolored peppers create a nice contrast)
- Tangerine Salt or kosher salt
- 3 ears of corn, kernels sliced from the cob with a knife
- 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- ¼ cup minced fresh chives
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- Melt the butter with the olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the red onion, habanero, and bell pepper. Salt liberally and sauté for 3 minutes, until everything softens. Add the corn kernels and cook for another 3 minutes. The corn should be hot but not browned. Turn off the heat.
- Add the vinegar, maple syrup, and lime zest and juice and stir. Taste for salt and transfer to a warm serving bowl. Top with the chives and cilantro.
