Total Time: 40 minutes minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- ½ cup blanched hazelnuts
- 4 ears of corn, husks removed
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ounces Pecorino Toscano, shaved (you can substitute Parmigiano Reggiano —aka, Parmesan cheese)
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped mint
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped tarragon
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium heat. Cut kernels from 1 corn cob into a large bowl. Add garlic, orange juice, vinegar, and lemon zest and toss to combine; season with salt. Set aside.
- Brush remaining 3 ears of corn with oil and grill, turning occasionally, until very tender and charred and blackened in spots, 10–12 minutes. (Alternatively, remove kernels from cobs and cook in a dry large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until charred in spots, about 4 minutes.) Let cool.
- Cut kernels from cobs and add to reserved salad; add hazelnuts, Pecorino, mint, tarragon, and Aleppo-style pepper and toss to combine. Season with salt.
