Toasted Sweetcorn Salsa

Ingredients
2 cobs sweetcorn, stripped of husks and threads
a little olive oil
½ red pepper, very finely chopped
½ medium red onion, finely chopped
2 large firm tomatoes, skinned, de-seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
a few drops Tabasco sauce
salt and freshly milled black pepper

Method

First pre-heat the grill to its highest setting, then rub the corn kernels with a trace of olive oil. Place them under the grill and toast them for roughly 8 minutes, turning them from time to time so that they toast evenly.

When they're cool enough to handle, hold each one firmly with a cloth and scrape off all the kernels using your sharpest knife. Then mix these together with all the other ingredients, taste to check the seasoning and serve with the Rösti Crab Cakes.
