Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 Servings

Ingredients

4 ears corn, husked
1 tablespoon plus ¼ cup olive oil
Kosher salt
¾ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon coriander seeds
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Several dashes of hot sauce
Freshly ground black pepper
2 nectarines or peaches, sliced into ½"-thick wedges
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 cup torn fresh basil leaves
4 ounces queso panela or Cotija cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Brush corn with a total of 1 Tbsp. oil; season with salt and sprinkle with chili powder. Grill, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred in spots, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then cut kernels from cobs.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toast coriander and cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then chop with a knife or coarsely grind in a spice mill. Whisk with lemon juice, rosemary, hot sauce, and remaining ¼ cup oil in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add corn kernels, nectarines, shallot, basil and cheese and toss to combine.
