Drescription

This easy corn salsa has a great depth of flavor, thanks to the air fryer. "Roasting" the corn, pepper and tomatoes brings out smoky and caramelized notes in the vegetables. Use this dip as a pairing with meat or fish, or scoop it up with your favorite tortilla chips.

Ingredients

  • ½ - 1 jalapeño or serrano pepper, halved
  • 2 corn, husked
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • ½ small sweet onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

  1. Preheat air fryer to 380°F. Remove and discard stems from jalapeño (or serrano). If desired, remove and discard seeds. Cut corn in half, if needed, to fit in the air-fryer basket. Transfer the pepper and corn to a large bowl. Add tomatoes, onion and garlic. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
  2. Working in batches as necessary, arrange the vegetables in an even layer in the air-fryer basket; cook until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a wire rack to cool, about 15 minutes.
  3. Peel the garlic cloves, discarding skins. Cut the corn kernels off the cobs. Transfer the vegetables, garlic and half the corn to a food processor or blender. Add cilantro, lime juice to taste and salt. Pulse until finely chopped. Stir in cumin and the remaining corn.

Carolina Shrimp & Sausage Purloo

This recipe is inspired by my current region, the Low Country, and the diaspora. I’ve seen versions of this rice dish throughout my years as a chef and my years traveling the West Indies. I saw the similarities with congee and asopao. Also saw similarities with Puerto Rican arroz con pollo, Trinidadian cook-up rice or pelau, and even the famous jambalaya. I feel like this version highlighted this beautiful one-pot rice recipe.
