Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • ½  cup  blanched hazelnuts
  • ears of corn, husks removed
  • garlic clove, finely grated
  • tablespoons  fresh orange juice
  • tablespoons  rice vinegar
  • teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

Kosher salt

  • tablespoons  olive oil
  • ounces  Pecorino Toscano, shaved  (you can substitute Parmigiano Reggiano ---aka, Parmesan cheese)
  • ¼  cup  coarsely chopped mint
  • ¼  cup  coarsely chopped tarragon
  • 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.
