Recipe - Roasted Corn And Red Pepper Relish

6 Ears fresh corn; unhusked
8 Cloves garlic; left as is
5 tablespoon Olive oil
Plus
1 teaspoon Olive oil
1 lg Red bell pepper
One fourth teaspoon Jalapeno pepper; (up to 1
teas),
; seeded and
Chopped
2 One half tablespoon White wine vinegar
One fourth cup Fresh parsley; chopped
1 Whole scallion; trim,slice
thin
Salt and freshly ground
pepper

Soak the fresh corn in a pot of cold water for about 1 hour. Preheat the
oven to 400ø.

Place the garlic in a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 teaspoon of
the oil, and wrap tightly. Place the bell pepper on another piece of
aluminum foil. Do not wrap. Place the drained corn directly on the oven
rack and roast along with the garlic and bell pepper. Remove the corn and
garlic after 10 minutes and let cool slightly. Squeeze the garlic cloves
out of their skins and chop. Husk the corn and, using a sharp knife, cut
the kernels off the cobs into a medium size bowl.

Roast the bell peper, turning it every few minutes, until almost charred on
all sides, for a total of about 15 minutes. Wrap the pepper in the foil and
let cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Peel the skin off the pepper, remove
the seeds and core, and chop it.

Mix the corn with the chopped garlic and bell pepper and add the remaining
ingredients. Taste for seasoning, adding more jalapenos if desire.

Makes about 2 cups.
