GRILLED MEXICAN STREET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
• Combine the mayonnaise, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and cumin in a large bowl. Brush the corn with the mayonnaise mixture. Place the corn on the hot grill pan and grill, turning occasionally, until all sides are softened and slightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool slightly.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the corn off the cobs; transfer the kernels to the bowl with the remaining spiced mayonnaise. Add the cheese, cilantro, green onions, lime juice and hot sauce to the bowl. Toss until everything is coated and combined. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED PORK WITH CHARRED CORN SLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Make the sauce: Whisk the yogurt, barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon each lime juice and olive oil in a bowl. Reserve 1/4 cup of the sauce for the pork; set the rest aside.
• Season the pork with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Brush the grill grates with olive oil. Grill the pork, turning and brushing with the reserved 1/4 cup sauce, until marked on all sides and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes.
• When the pork is about halfway done, put the corn on the grill and cook, turning, until slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, then cut the kernels off the cob. Toss with the coleslaw mix, vinegar, cilantro, the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a bowl.
• Slice the pork and divide among plates. Serve with the slaw and the remaining sauce.

GRILLED CRUNCHY COLESLAW

Steps:

• Preheat a grill. Place the cabbage wedges on a baking sheet, and drizzle with the vegetable oil on both sides. Sprinkle with sugar, salt, and pepper, and then toss to coat. Grill the cabbage for 4 minutes each side, or 8 minutes total, turning once or until the edges begin to wilt, but the bulk of the cabbage remains crunchy. Remove the cabbage from the grill and allow to cool a few minutes. Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette in a medium bowl by whisking the orange zest, Dijon mustard, and orange juice with the olive oil until it emulsifies. Add salt, and pepper, to taste. Chop the grilled cabbage, removing the core, and place in the bowl with the dressing. Add the parsley and green onion and toss to coat.

GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, shuck the corn, removing both husks and silks.
• Fill a large pot halfway with water and set over high heat to come to a simmer. Add the milk, if using.
• Blanch the corn in the pot for about 3 minutes, then stack on a platter.
• Apply just a little butter to each ear of corn, then place on grill. Cook, turning often, until the corn is tender and some of the kernels are beginning to darken, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining butter and salt.

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and specks of black appear, about 10 minutes; set aside until just cool enough to handle. Slice the kernels off of the cob and place into a bowl.
• Combine the warm corn kernels with the green pepper, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss until evenly mixed. Set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend before serving.
