step 1

ingredients 4 ears fresh corn

instructions Husk and clean the corn. Keep the corn husks for corn broth.
step 2

ingredients 1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons jalapeño or serrano peppers
1/2 cup red tomatoes
3 tablespoons red onion
2 tablespoons parsley

instructions Mince the garlic, red onion and jalapeno peppers. Dice the red tomatoes and the parsley.
step 3

ingredients 1 bay leaf

instructions Scrape the cobs with a large spoon or with the back of a knife to remove the juices or the "milk" as my granny called it. (Save the cobs to steep in water with a bay leaf for corn broth for a later use.)
step 4

ingredients 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

instructions In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat.
Add the corn and cook quickly until corn is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Add the garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the peppers. Cook until fragrant,
about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
step 5

ingredients 1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
salt and pepper to taste
4 large green tomatoes
1 cup of flour
¾ cup of course corn meal
¼ cup panko bread crumbs, ground in a food processor
1 tablespoon of baking soda
Nice pinch of S&P
2 cups of buttermilk
1 egg
Canola oil, to fry
Spicy Corn Relish

instructions In a bowl, combine the corn mixture with the remaining ingredients.
Adjust the seasoning to taste. Serve warm over the fried green tomatoes or at room temperature.
