Ingredients

3 corncobs yield about 2 cups of corn
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
1 garlic clove minced
¼ cup onion diced
¼ cup spring onion sliced
1 chili pepper
2 tablespoons fresh spearmint leaves roughly chopped
¾ cup Greek feta cheese crumbled
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil total
1 lemon
sea salt

Instructions

Heat the oven to 190°C / 375°F.
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
Remove the husk and silk from the corn.
Brush each ear of corn with a bit of olive oil and wrap it in a large piece of aluminum foil.
Roast the foil-wrapped cobs directly on the rack for 30 minutes. Set the foil-wrapped corn aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the onion and spring onion and mince the garlic.
Cut the chili pepper in half, remove the seeds, and slice it.
Chop the herbs.
Crumble the feta.
Remove the kernels from the corn cob (see tips on how to do it effortlessly in the recipe notes).
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Drizzle fresh lemon juice and the rest of the olive oil. Mix well and enjoy!

Notes

Keep the bare corncobs if you plan on making corn soup or chowder to add extra flavor to your stock.
To remove kernels from a corncob, place a smaller bowl upside down inside a larger one.
Set the corncob on top of the smaller bowl, ensuring it's stable. Next, use a sharp chef's knife to cut straight down the cob as close to the base of the kernels as possible, being careful not to angle the blade into the cob.
Rotate the cob and repeat the cut until all kernels are removed.
