I just had a wonderful dip...the cook said she got it on Epicurious, but I haven't been able to locate it. It had roasted corn, scallions, serano pepper, mayo, lime juice, garlic...maybe some bell pepper. I'd love the exact recipe if you have it...thank you!!! Liz

 
I found it on FoodTV.com!

Roasted Corn Salsa with Tequila-Lime Dressing Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2004
Show: Emeril Live
Episode: Cookin' with Spirits





5 medium ears yellow corn, silk removed, husk intact.
5 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise, preferably homemade
2 tablespoons tequila
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup diced green onions
1/2 Serrano pepper, finely chopped (seeds included)
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 avocado, sliced, for garnish
Tortilla chips, for garnish

Preheat a grill to medium-high.
Soak corn in water for 5 minutes, drain and pat dry.

Lightly rub each ear of corn with 1 teaspoon of the oil and place the corn directly on the grill. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly browned on all sides, about 20 minutes. Remove and set aside until cool. When the ears have cooled, cut the kernels from the cobs and transfer to a mixing bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, tequila, lime juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Pour the mayonnaise-tequila dressing over the cooled corn kernels. Stir in the green onions, diced serrano pepper, red bell pepper, and cilantro. Adjust seasonings, as needed. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Place corn salsa in a serving bowl, garnish with avocado slices, and serve with tortilla chips.

 
This sounds really good for summer, lizzy. I keep a recipe box at both epi and foodtv,

and I get them confused too.

 
Does "husk intact" mean covering the kernels? And When one rubs the

ears with oil, is it on the kernels, or on the husk? TIA, Denice

 
I would guess you'd rub the actual kernals with oil, and cover...

...with the husks while grilling to prevent too much browning.

 
from an Indiana girl, we soaked the corn longer in water, but no oil. Not sure why the oil.

It would char too soon. Just throw the soaked corn on the grill and turn every 5 minutes or so.
