* To cut kernels off of a cooked ear of corn: After it cools, stand the ear of corn on end in a deep wide bowl. With a large, heavy, knife, cut in a strip from top to bottom down one side of the cob, cutting close to the cob. Rotate cob and repeat, shearing off all the kernels. ** Roast the peppers by placing them directly on an open gas flame, turning them frequently with tongs until all sides are charred black, 7 to 10 minutes. (Alternately, the peppers can be roasted under the broiler or grilled on a gas or charcoal grill.) Place the peppers in a plastic or paper bag and cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Peel the peppers, remove the seeds and the stems and chop |
