Flame-roasted corn and red peppers
We are finally back from New Jersey. Before we left we had one final dinner party for a few friends of my brother-in-law. Summer in NJ means fresh corn, that’s sweet corn for those of you in the Midwest, peppers and tomatoes. We decided to test the new valve we installed on the gas grill so burgers and roasted corn were on the menu. This is a very simple recipe but received a host of compliments as it has a distinct sweet flavor coupled with the hint of smoke from the grilling. I used the small peppers now available in the market. The lime zest and juice supply the surprise in the taste.
The next time you serve corn on the cob think about this and you too will get the compliments.
