Ingredients

  • 2 ears fresh corn in the husk
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped hot green chile peppers
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method

  • Cut off about 1/2 inch of the corn stalk using a large, sharp knife. Do not shuck the corn.
  • Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice.
  • Microwave corn on high, about 2 minutes per ear. Carefully peel off husks and silk. Plunge corn into the ice water. Remove corn from water and pat dry.
  • Stand corn upright and slice off kernels, turning the ear as you go. Transfer kernels to a bowl; add green pepper, green chile peppers, vinegar, sugar, cumin, and pepper. Chill until serving.
