Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
3 x ears fresh sweet corn in their husks
3 tbl extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 lb andouille sausage cut crosswise
into 1/8" slices
1/2 cup finely-chopped yellow onion
3/4 cup finely-chopped red or yellow bell pepper
2 tsp minced garlic
3/4 cup finely-chopped seeded ripe tomato
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup chicken broth hot
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves - (loosely packed) cut into ribbons
Instructions:
Instructions: Soak the corn in cold water for 30 minutes or more. If necessary, use a weight to keep the ears submerged. Drain.

In a medium saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pepper is tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

Grill the corn over Direct Medium heat for 20 to 25 minutes, turning three or four times during grilling time. Remove from the grill and allow to cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, carefully pull back the husks and remove the silk. With a sharp knife, cut the kernels from the cobs. Add the kernels to the sausage mixture.

Just before serving, add the tomatoes, vinegar, chicken broth, salt, pepper, and basil to the andouille mixture. Stir gently to mix.

Arrange the arugula on a platter, spoon the warm salad on top, and serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.

Wine Recommendation: Our sneaky chef married andouille sausage with garden veggies, so we suggest you make a date with Fleurie, a light, floral French Beaujolais. You wont regret it.

Beer Recommendation: Soft and creamy on the palate, a true Summer Ale will let this garden-variety dish sing while its lemony finish provides contrasting grace notes.

Comments: Grilled corn, fresh tomatoes, sweet peppers, and warm, spicy andouille sausage spooned over crisp arugula. Serve with crusty French bread and call it dinner.
