RECIPE BY Cooking Light

This tangy corn relish recipe fatures fresh corn, bell pepper, diced green tomato and tomatillos and gets a kick from jalapeno pepper. Make a milder relish by seeding the jalapeno.

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)

Loved this one! Did a few things a little different but all in all this is a keeper. Changes: 1. Grilled corn and jalapeno on gas grill instead of cooking in pot 2. Didn't have any champagne so used white wine instead. Might try half wine half vinegar next time. 3. Added cilantro when serving. 3. Added extra jalapeno (non-grilled) to pot - we love some heat! Simmered grilled corn and jalapeno during last 10 min. or so. Thumbs up to Cooking Light...love you guys!
