Zutaten:
- Homemade Tahini Sauce
- 2 to 3 ears corn on the cob, (husked)
- 3 hearts romaine lettuce, (trimmed and halved lengthwise)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- 10 ounces grape tomatoes (2 cups), (halved)
- 2 green onions, (trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts))
- 1/2 bunch parsley, (leaves chopped)
- 1 teaspoon sumac ((optional))
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper ((optional))
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
Arbeitsschritte:
- Fire up the grill: Lightly oil your grill grates. Set the outdoor or stovetop grill to high. (You can also use a large grill pan.)
- Make the tahini sauce: Before getting started make the Tahini Sauce. This way the flavors can meld while you prep the rest of the salad. If you want the tahini sauce to be a little more runny like a dressing, add a splash of water and stir well until you get the desired consistency.
- Grill the corn: When the grill is hot, place the ears on the griddle, grill grates, or over a flame. Turn until nicely charred, this should only take about 10 minutes total. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Grill the lettuce: Brush the Romaine lettuce with extra virgin olive oil on both sides. Arrange the lettuce on the hot grill. Grill on one side for 3 minutes, then using a pair of tongs flip it and grill on the other side for about 3 minutes. The lettuce should soften, but remain crispy at the core, and gain some good char on both sides. Remove from heat and arrange the grilled lettuce on a large serving platter. (Turn the grill off at this point.)
- Shuck the corn: In a large mixing bowl, hold one ear of corn standing up. Use a sharp knife to slice down along the cob to release the kernels into the bowl. Repeat with the remaining corn.
- Mix the salad: Add the tomatoes, green onions, parsley, sumac, Aleppo pepper (if using), lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil to the bowl with the corn. Season with salt and toss to combine.
- Assemble: Spoon the grilled corn and tomato salad on top of the grilled lettuce. Drizzle with a little tahini sauce. Serve immediately, with the remaining tahini sauce on the side. Enjoy!
