Corn And Avocado Relish Recipes

Steps:

• Place the corn in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Cook until kernels are tender but crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain, and cool in cold water. Use a knife to scrape kernels from the cobs.
• Place kernels in a medium bowl. Stir in avocados, red onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Add cumin, red pepper flakes, and cilantro. Mix in vinegar, olive oil, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the corn for 3 minutes until the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immerse the corn in ice water to stop the cooking and to set the color. When the corn is cool, cut the kernels off the cob, cutting close to the cob, and place them in a large bowl.
• Toss the avocados with the lemon juice and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add the tomatoes, red peppers, onion, jalapeno peppers and lime zest to the bowl.
• Whisk the lime juice, olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, black pepper, garlic, and cayenne pepper together in a small bowl and pour over the vegetables. Toss well. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Take a small bowl and place it upside-down inside a large bowl. (This will provide a small stand for your corn, making it easier to remove the kernels, and the large bowl will catch them as the fall, avoiding a mess.) Using a knife, remove the kernels from the corn, letting them fall into the bowl.
• Dice the onion and red bell pepper and add them to the bowl with the corn. Add 1 tablespoon of the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients.
• Set a pan over medium heat and add some oil. Add the corn mixture to the pan and cook until the onions begin to soften, tossing occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Sprinkle the sea scallops with salt and pepper. Set a pan over medium-high heat and add some oil. Add the scallops and sear until golden in color, about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the heat and let rest.
• Dice the avocados and add them to the corn relish along with the chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper and mix together.
• Evenly distribute the relish among 4 plates and top each with 4 scallops. Garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

Steps:

• Saute the corn with the salt and pepper, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
• Cut the avocados, bell pepper and roasted poblanos into 1/4 inch dice. Add to the sauted corn along with the scallions, 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.

Steps:

• In a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine all ingredients except avocados. Boil corn mixture, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes and cool completely. Corn mixture may be made 1 week ahead and chilled, covered.
• Strain corn mixture through a sieve into a bowl, reserving cooking liquid. Halve, pit, and peel avocados. In a bowl mash 1 avocado half. Finely chop remaining avocado and add to mashed avocado with corn mixture and 2 tablespoons reserved cooking liquid, tossing to combine well. Relish may be made 1 hour ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap.

Steps:

• For the relish: Combine all ingredients in bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• For the scallops: Preheat grill. Brush scallops with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill the scallops for 2 minutes on each side. Arrange tortillas on a serving platter, top each with a layer of relish and 1 scallop. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook corn until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut off tip of each cob. Stand corn in a wide shallow bowl; using a sharp knife, slice downward to release kernels. To bowl, add tomatoes, avocados, onion, parsley, 2 tablespoons oil, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; toss to combine.
• Heat grill to medium-high. Clean and oil hot grates. Rub fish with 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with Creole seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Grill fish, skin side down, until skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes (if fish does not release easily, cook a bit longer). Using a thin spatula, flip fish and cook until slightly pink in center, about 4 minutes more, depending on thickness of fillet. Serve salmon with corn relish.

Steps:

• Pour the frozen corn into a large mixing bowl. Finely dice the Jalepeno, yellow squash, and Zucchini. (Note if you do not like Jalepeno and would like to substitute half a diced red bell pepper instead. That is fine.) Add to the corn. Next cut the avocado around the center in half. Pull halves apart and remove seed. Taking your knife, make a criss cross pattern on the avocado dicing it while still in the skin. To remove the chunks of avocado, take a spoon and run it around the edge of the skin loosening the pieces of Avocado. Add to the bowl, discard the skins and seeds. Add the lime juice, hot sauce, salt and pepper to the vegetable mixture. Mix everything together and taste. Adjust seasonings to suit your preferences. The corn will still be frozen or partially thawed at this point. Cover and let sit on counter for at least one hour. Pour into a serving dish and serve with chips or top rice cakes with relish. Also a wonderful side with fish or chicken.

Steps:

• Saute bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, red bell pepper, green onions and corn, and mix together. Carefully stir in the cubed avocado.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the red wine and vinegar dressing, the blue cheese dressing, and the honey.
• Pour the dressing mixture over the salad and toss. Add bacon just before serving to keep it crunchy.

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine avocado and lime juice; set aside.
• In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients, mix well and carefully fold into avocado mixture.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 30 minutes.
• Just before serving, stir well.
• A nice addition to broiled chicken or fish.
