corn relish

Jalapeno Corn Relish

kernel corn (drained)

jalapenos (seeded (partially, if desired), finely diced)

red onion (diced)

red bell pepper (seeded, diced)

garlic (finely minced)

water

apple cider vinegar

brown sugar

curry powder

sea salt

black pepper

In a large bowl, combine the corn, jalapenos, red onion, bell pepper and garlic. Set aside. For a milder heat, remove all jalapeno seeds. For hotter relish, leave in seeds as desired.

Stir together the remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan. Heat on the stove to a low boil, stirring frequently until the sugar has dissolved.

Pour the vinegar and spice mixture over the corn mixture.&nbsp;

Cover and refrigerate for one hour or more before serving.

My friend Judy Ornstein has a popular neighborhood cafe on Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles called FOOD. I love all of the meals I’ve had there, but my absolute favorite signature dish that they make is a cilantro tofu sandwich. The tofu is dipped in a delicious cilantro-spiked marinade, briefly baked, then topped with a to-die-for roasted corn relish. Alayne Berman, FOOD’s chef, shared the recipe with me. I’ve scaled the recipe down from 10 pounds of tofu to 1 pound, which will make four sandwiches. They are hearty, and I usually make a meal of half a sandwich, but the nutritional information is for a whole one.

FOOD’s Amazing Cilantro Tofu Sandwich

soy sauce, preferably tamari

ginger

garlic clove,

shallot

jalapeño

cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground

honey

lime juice

lime zest

canola oil

generous bunch cilantro, finely chopped

white corn

red bell pepper, roasted

yellow bell pepper, roasted

Salt and pepper

tofu

Hass avocado, thinly sliced

Sliced heirloom or good roma tomatoes, in season only

sandwich bread

Vegenaise

Arugula

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pat the tofu dry with paper towels and cut laterally into 4 equal squares, approximately 1/3 inch wide. They should be just the right size for the sandwich bread.

Line a sheet pan with parchment. In a large, wide bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients for the marinade. Pat each square of tofu with paper towels, then dip into the marinade, making sure to coat both sides. Transfer to the baking sheet.

Bake the tofu for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edges are just beginning to color and the marinade sets on the surface of the tofu. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Meanwhile, make the corn relish. Grill the corn until it colors lightly, and allow to cool. Remove the kernels from the cob. Peel, seed and dice the roasted peppers. Combine peppers, corn and remaining relish ingredients in a medium bowl. Salt and pepper to taste.

For each sandwich, spread a thin coating of Vegenaise on each slice of bread. Top the bottom slice with a piece of baked marinated tofu. Fan thin slices of avocado over the tofu (the avocado helps the relish adhere to the sandwich). Top the avocado with 1/2 to 3/4 cup relish. Top the relish with slices of heirloom or good roma tomatoes and a handful of arugula. Top with the second slice of bread.
