Grilling the tomatoes and corn makes this side dish feel special and it's so simple to do. I like to serve it with French bread, but it's killer dished up on its own. Ingredients:
6 tomato slices (1/2-inch thick) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
grilled corn topping: |
2 large ears sweet corn, husked |
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
1 green onion, finely chopped |
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley |
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives |
1 tablespoon capers, drained |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or crumbled feta cheese |
toasted french bread baguette slices, optional |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle tomatoes with salt and pepper. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon oil.
2. Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned, turning occasionally. Grill tomato slices 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Cool corn slightly.
3. Cut corn from cobs; transfer to a small bowl. Stir in green onion, parsley, olives, capers, garlic, lemon juice, lemon peel and remaining oil.
4. Serve corn mixture over tomatoes; sprinkle with cheese. If desired, serve with baguette slices. Yield: 6 servings.
