Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Organic sweet corn kernels (fresh or thawed if frozen)
- 1 medium Organic red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 medium Organic green bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 small Organic red onion, finely diced
- 1 small Organic jalapeño, finely diced (optional for heat)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey or organic cane sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Shuck fresh corn, if using, and cut the kernels off the cobs. Measure 3 cups of kernels.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the corn kernels. Sauté for 3–4 minutes to lightly toast them, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic, white vinegar, lime juice, honey (or sugar), cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Stir until well combined.
Add the sautéed corn to the saucepan and stir to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, stir in the freshly chopped cilantro.
Transfer the corn relish to an airtight container or jars and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a topping, dip, or side dish. Enjoy!
