Roasted Corn and Black Bean Salsa

January 29, 2015 by Leia

Since we moved away from St. Louis last year, there have been many things that I have missed.

Namely, friends.  The Cardinals.  Some restaurants, etc.  And some stores.  Like Trader Joe’s.

We are making a trip to Utah this summer, so I may have to stock up on some things there.  But one thing that couldn’t wait for a trip this summer, was this salsa.

It was inspired by a similar salsa at Trader Joe’s.

I like this salsa for several reasons, one being that is has great flavor.  Roasting the corn and jalapeno help change those traditional flavors.  The cilantro always packs a big punch.  And the whole thing is tossed with apple cider vinegar.  Love it.

So, I said roasted corn and jalapeno.  Did that scare you?

It’s really not a difficult task.  It just requires to be in front of the oven for several minutes.

I shuck my corn, and rinse the jalapeno, then put them on a pan under the broiler.  It takes about 3-5 minutes for the jalapeno to be done, and the corn takes more like 10-15 minutes.  But you want to turn them every once in a while.  So don’t leave them unattended.  I used tongs to just reach in the oven and turn things when needed.  And then pulled the jalapeno out when it was done, but left the corn in.  Not difficult.  They should get blister-y and start turning black when they are done.

Roasted Corn and Jalapeno for Salsa

Let the corn and jalapeno cool.  I even stuck mine in the fridge for a few days until I had time to finish the salsa.

Once cooled, hold the corn on end, and just run a sharp knife down the sides, cutting off all the kernels.  The jalapeno- you can  remove the seeds, or leave them in if you want super spicy.  Then just dice it pretty small.

Dice up the other ingredients and throw them all together in a bowl.  Easy.
