A quick sear gives corn kernels caramelized edges and concentrated flavor. Here, they're cooked with crisp chickpeas, then tossed with za'atar and dressed with a mixture of ginger, jalapeños, miso, and tahini. This all-star dinner recipe will work long after corn has gone out of season. In winter, just sub shaved cauliflower or torn kale. This recipe is part of the 2020 Healthyish Farmers Market Challenge.
