Directions: |
Directions:Prepare wood or coals in your grill or heat a gas grill to medium.
Pour olive oil on a plate & dip tomatoes & onions in the oil.
Place the tomatoes, onions & chiles on the grill (keeping the tomatoes and onions cut-side down); cook, turning chiles as needed, until tomatoes & onions have char marks & chiles are blackened all over. The tomatoes will take about 5 minutes, the onions and chiles about 15 minutes.
Transfer tomatoes & onions to cutting board and roughly chop. Put chiles in a paper bag, close the bag, and let chiles steam for about 5 minutes to loosen their skins (see Cook’s Note). Peel chiles, discard stems & seeds; roughly chop.
Put tomatoes, onions, chiles, garlic & cilantro in a mixing bowl. Cut corn kernels off the cobs, add them to the bowl, then stir to combine. Squeeze the lemons; season salsa with the juice, then add salt & cumin to taste. |

Notes: This sweet, smoky, spicy salsa is a great accompaniment to a classic grilled tri-tip. It’s also great on its own with tortilla chips or as an addition to tacos, steaks, or eggs. The key to the salsa’s complex flavor is to grill the vegetables so that their skin gets a nice charred, smoky flavor; then add some fresh sweet corn. If you want to make the salsa without firing up the grill, you can get a similar result by toasting your vegetables over a flame on the stove or blackening them a bit under the broiler.
TIP: The best way to cook chiles and remove their skins is to blacken them on grill & then put them in a paper bag. The chiles will steam inside the bag, and that steam will loosen the skin, making it easy to pull off. Any paper bag will do the trick.
