Corn and Black-eyed Pea Compote BBQ Recipe

Corn (from the Heartland) and black-eyed peas (from the South) make this the perfect side dish for barbecued ribs.

6 ears sweet corn in husks, trimmed of silk and soaked in water for 30 minutes
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 small red bell peppers, diced
3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
1/2 pound cooked black-eyed peas
1 small zucchini, diced
2-1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Place corn in centre of cooking grate. Grill 25 to 30 minutes, turning 3 times during grilling. Allow to cool slightly. Remove husks. Cut corn kernels from the cobs with a sharp knife; reserve kernels.
