Grilled Zucchini Corn Salsa

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 24 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
  • 1 1/4 cups chopped fresh zucchini
  • 3/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 small sweet peppers
  • 12 jalapeno peppers
  • 14 fresh garden tomatoes and/or a bunch of smaller tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup cooked corn (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/41/2 teaspoon salt
  • About 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves

Instructions

  1. Get the coals started going on the grill.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, toss together zucchini, garlic, onion and olive oils to coat them all lightly with oil. Make a foil packet by making a double layer of aluminum foil on the bottom, then pouring this veggie mixture over and spreading it out, leaving a good edge on all sides. Top with another layer of foil and roll up the edges tightly to seal.
  3. Grill on the grill until the veggies are perfectly tender. When done, pull from the grill and let cool a bit.
  4. Meanwhile, set the peppers and tomatoes on the grill too, and turn them occasionally to brown/char all sides of the peppers and tomatoes. The tomatoes will be done faster than the peppers. Remove them from the grill when the skin is cracking on all sides.
  5. Set the tomatoes and peppers in a bowl or pyrex container and cover until they cool off a bit, then you should be able to pull the skins off most of the tomato and peppers and pull the seeds out of the middle of the peppers.
  6. Chop the tomatoes and peppers into little bits and stir them together with the zucchini mixture in that mixing bowl. Stir in the cooked corn, cumin, salt, and cilantro. Adjust seasonings to taste. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
