RECIPE

To cut kernels from the cob, hold the cob perpendicular to the cutting surface and using a sharp knife, slowly carve the kernels of the corn from the cob. They will tumble to the cutting surface.

For the pancakes:

1 cup (240 mL)

fresh corn kernels

2 (2)

potatoes

2 (2)

eggs

3 tbsp (45 mL)

corn oil

1/4 cup (60 mL)

sifted pastry flour

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Gather and measure the kernels after cutting them from the cob. Place the corn kernels in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Peel two potatoes (Yukon Gold are the most attractive). Grate them into a spearate bowl. Squeeze out excess water before adding to the corn kernels. Add the eggs and corn oil. Blend thoroughly. Add the salt and pepper, then the sifted pastry flour. Do not over mix. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes before making pancakes. Preheat an oven to 250 degress F/120 degrees C. Make six large pancakes in a nonstick frying pan. Keep them warm on a tray in the oven.

For the relish:

2 (2)

ripe tomatoes

1 (1)

red onion

1 (1)

clove garlic

2 tbsp (30 mL)

roughly chopped basil

1/2 tbsp (75 mL)

white wine vinegar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds. Dice the tomatoes to approximately the size of the corn kernels and put them in a stainless steel bowl. Repeat with the red onion. Chop the garlic as finely as possible and add it with the vinegar and basil. Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper. To serve: Lay out six warm plates. Place a pancake on each plate. Spread a thick layer of relish on each pancake. Serve at once. Makes 6 servings.
