SWEET-CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Scrape the kernels from each cob by holding it vertically in a large bowl, fat end up, and cutting kernels off, into the bowl, with a sharp knife. Freeze the empty cobs for soup stock.
• Heat a large, flat sauté pan. When it's warm, add a good amount of olive oil. Turn the heat down to medium-high, and add the garlic and onion.
• Sprinkle them lightly with kosher salt. Stir periodically for a few minutes, until the onions and garlic have begun to become translucent, then add the tomatoes or cucumbers (or combination). Let sizzle for two minutes, then add the corn and a sprinkle of water.
• Raise the heat, stir once or twice, taste for salt and adjust, then add a few drops of vinegar. Mix through. Turn off heat, add herbs, stir.

BEST EVER FRESH SWEETCORN SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with salted water and bring to a boil.
• Break each ear of corn in half so it will fit in the pot, and cook until tender and the starchiness is just gone. Drain and immediately immerse the ears of corn in a bowl of 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.
• Toss the kernels in a large bowl with the red onions, roasted red peppers, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. If you add the basil too early and let the salad sit for a long period of time before serving, it will wilt and darken.

QUADRUPLE ILLINOIS SWEET CORN SALAD

Steps:

• For the salad: Heat a grill to 400 degrees F.
• Place 3 ears of corn directly on the grill grates, along with the jalapeno. Grill, turning occasionally, until very tender and charred in spots, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut the kernels off the remaining 3 ears raw corn and add to a medium bowl. Set a fine-mesh strainer over a small bowl. Place a raw corn cob upright in the strainer and scrape along the cob using the back of a knife or spoon to extract the milk and remaining corn remnants. Press the corn remnants with a rubber spatula to release even more corn milk, then discard any remnants left in the strainer. Repeat with the remaining raw corn.
• When the grilled corn and jalapeno are cool enough to handle, cut the kernels from the corn and add to the bowl. Rub the charred skin off the jalapeno, then remove the stem and seeds, cut into small dice and set aside.
• For the dressing: Add 2 tablespoons of the corn milk to a small bowl, along with the vinegar, salt, chipotle powder and shallot. Slowly whisk in the oil to combine, then add the dressing to the corn and toss gently to combine. Spread the dressed corn on a platter. Arrange the grilled jalapeno, bacon, diced tomatoes and fried corn kernels on top in rows. Serve immediately.
