Charred Corn and Chickpea Salad With Lime Crema.

The New York Times cooking app is a must for any keen cook.Its a mine of great ideas from really good contributors populated with simple recipes covering the widest range of cookery styles and cuisines. This recipe is from Hetty Lui McKinnon and is a really good simple salad with a Mexican vibe. We had it with a quinoa salad and ground meat skewers. Here is the recipe and Hetty’s intro Charred corn is a bankable foundation for a simple and satiating summer meal. Just a few minutes in a hot pan will turn the kernels from starchy to sweet, while delivering smoky notes. A light dusting of ground cumin and smoked paprika reinforces these scorched flavors.
