Roasted Corn Tomato And Fennel Relish Food

ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Soak cleaned corn in a bowl of water for approximately 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill and place corn straight on the cooking surface. Cook until beautiful black & caramelized grill marks appear, turning frequently. DO NOT BOIL OR MICROWAVE CORN (sorry, but this is a big obnoxious NO-NO with me) or you will lose all of the sweet natural flavor.
• Once corn has cooled enough to handle, cut off all of kernels. Add all of the remaining ingredients and mix together. Serve at room temperature or cold.

FENNEL, ROASTED TOMATO, AND BASIL RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice tomatoes in half lengthwise; arrange them, cut side down, in a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Place garlic cloves on baking sheet next to tomatoes. Roast in oven until tomatoes are soft and wrinkled, and garlic is aromatic and tender, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool.
• In a medium bowl, combine fennel with vinegar, capers, red-pepper flakes, and oil. Stir to combine. Finely chop garlic, and roughly chop tomatoes; add to bowl. Slice basil into fine strips; add to bowl along with parsley. Stir to combine; serve chilled or at room temperature.

ROASTED FENNEL WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Core and thinly slice 2 fennel bulbs; chop some of the fronds. Peel the cloves from 1 garlic bulb and toss with the fennel and fronds, 1 quartered lemon, 3 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar on a baking sheet. Roast in a 500 degrees F oven until golden, about 20 minutes. Toss in 1 pint grape tomatoes; roast until the tomatoes burst, 7 more minutes.

CORN AND FENNEL SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the potato, thyme, bay leaf, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring, until the potatoes are well coated, 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in the broth and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer.
• Add the corn and fennel and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain a simmer. Remove from the heat and let cool at least 5 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme and bay leaf and carefully puree until smooth with a handheld immersion blender or in 2 to 3 batches in a blender (do not fill the blender more than halfway full per batch).
• Stir in the heavy cream and reheat the soup if necessary. Adjust the consistency and seasoning with water, salt and pepper.
• Serve hot sprinkled with corn kernels and fennel fronds.
