3The Cook

    • When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

    • Grill corn and peppers until tender, flipping often to get a good char on all sides, about 5 to 7 minutes.

    • Once grilled to your liking, take the vegetables off the grill and place them on the counter to cool to room temperature.

    • Slice the kernels off the cob.

    • Dice the veggies, including the red onion, and combine them with the Gournay cheese.

    • Add salt and pepper to taste.

    • Serve with your favorite chips.
