Grilled Corn Relish gets it's charred flavor from the grill, but it's super easy to make in a cast iron skillet and makes an excellent side dish with chicken, beef, or pork!
In a large bowl, combine corn kernels, onion, jalapeno if using, and bell pepper with olive oil.
Pour into a large cast iron skillet and place on the grill.
Heat in closed grill for five minutes, stir with a metal spatula, and continue cooking stirring occasionally until charred.
Carefully remove from heat and place on a heat resistant surface.
Add the cilantro, lime juice, chili powder and toss to combine.
Season with sea salt to taste.
Serve as a bed for grilled steak, chicken, or fish, or as a dip with tortilla chips.
Notes
The original had jalapeno pepper {I think} but I am not a huge fan so I left it out. The choice is yours.
Be VERY careful when bringing your hot skillet back indoors, it is insanely HOT…and heavy!
I added the lime juice, chipotle chili powder, and cilantro right to the skillet…there’s no need to dirty another bowl.
Yes, you could also grill the corn on the cob, the bell pepper, and onion separately, and then chop them up and mix it all together. My way seemed easier in my head so I went with the cast iron skillet method.
