Recipe Name: Grilled Fresh Corn Salad
Recipe Source: Bob and Robin Young adapted from the Food Network
Serves: 10
Ingredients:
6 ears fresh Corn, husks intact and not opened and grilled
1 sweet Red Pepper, grilled
¼ c Olive Oil
2 T Garlic granules
¾ c Red Onion, diced
½ T Sea Salt
½ Black Pepper, fresh ground
¾ c Basil leaves, julienned and fresh
¼ c Tarragon, julienned and fresh

Grilling the Corn and Red Pepper:
Soak the corn, tip down, in enough lightly salted water to cover the corn to the stalk end, for about 3 to 4 hours. In a bowl, combine the olive oil and garlic granules. Rub onto the red pepper and let set for about 1 hour. Reserve the oil. Grill the red pepper and corn together over medium coals. The peppers are done when they are soft and have lost their shape and the skin is charred. Do Not Char The Flesh of the Pepper. This Will Make It Bitter. Turn the peppers on a regular basis. Grill the soaked corn - husks intact - until the husks begin to burn. Remove the peppers and place is the bowl with the reserved oil/garlic mixture and cover tightly. Cool completely. Remove the corn from the grill and husk immediately. Let cool completely.

In a bowl, cut the kernels from the corn cob. Dice the grilled red pepper. Add the diced red onion, diced red pepper and about 2 Tablespoons of the pepper oil/garlic/olive oil mixture, salt and pepper. Toss gently. Add the basil and tarragon and totally combine. Refrigerate. We like it chilled and served the next day. You can, however, serve it immediately either chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Recipe Source: Bob and Robin Young. Adapted from "From Emeril's Kitchen: Favorite Recipes from Emeril's Restaurants" by Emeril Lagasse.
Note: These onions make an amazing side dish for any kind of meat dish, from grilled steaks to roasted pork and veal.
Ingredients:
· 6 medium red onions (each about 1/2 pound)
· 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
· 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
· 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 1/2 pound mascarpone cheese, at room temperature

· 1 teaspoon minced garlic
· 1 teaspoon minced shallots
· 6 sprigs fresh thyme

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
2. Peel the onions. Trim the root ends so they will stand upright, and remove 1/2 inch from the tops. Rub 1 1/4 teaspoons of the oil over each onion and season with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt and a pinch of the pepper. Place on the baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized around the edges, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Leave the oven on.
3. When the onions are cool enough to handle, push out the centers, leaving a shell. Return a piece of the center to each to form a bottom. Chop the remaining centers.
4. In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, thyme, garlic, shallots, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix until blended. Stuff the onions in the baking dish with the cheese mixture.
