1 12" Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

4 ears fresh corn
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 cloves garlic sliced
4 green onions thinly sliced
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon sumac optional
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and adjust a rack to the middle position.
Trim the silk and any loose husk tips off each ear of corn using kitchen shears. Place the corn directly on the oven rack and roast for 30 minutes, flipping the ears over halfway through. Remove the corn from the oven and allow it to cool to the touch. Once cool, peel off the husks and wipe away any silk off the cob. Lay the cobs on a cutting board and use a large knife to cut the kernels off from each side.
Meanwhile, heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and heat until it is faintly smoking. Add the tomatoes to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, for about two minutes until slightly charred. Stir the tomatoes and cook for another minute until they are just starting to split. Stir in the garlic and cook until it is fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Remove the pan from heat and set aside.
Combine the corn kernels, tomatoes with garlic and juices, green onion, basil, parsley, white wine vinegar, salt, sumac, and black pepper together in a large bowl. Gently toss until combined. Season with more salt to taste, then transfer the salad to a serving dish and top with feta cheese. Serve immediately or at room temperature.
