The Road Chef's Summer avocado and corn relish.

Recipe By

ENNIS BOITNOTT (AKA THE ROAD CHEF)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
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
1/2 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped
2 Jalapeno chilies -- roasted, peeled and
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
-- seeded, (see note)
4 scallions
1/4 cup red wine vinegar

Use only the white and light green parts of the scallions. Thinly slice on the diagonal.

Sauté the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.

Cut the avocados,roasted jalapenos into 1/4 inch dice. Add to the sautéed corn along with the scallions,cilantro, lime juice, 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 chilies 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 . Do not peel the pepper under running water since that will wash away flavorful juices. Once peeled, cut away stems, seeds and veins.
THIS IS GREAT ON BURGERS, GRILLED CHICKEN, GRILLED FISH, EVEN A HOT DOG!!!! GREAT WITH JUST CORN CHIPS AND COLD BEER....LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO EAT BAD FOOD OR DRINK BAD WINE..
