📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat; oil grate. Grill 4 ears of corn, husked, and 1 bunch scallions, turning occasionally, until very tender and charred and blackened in spots, 10–⏱️ 12 minutes for corn, 5–⏱️ 7 minutes for scallions. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool. (Alternatively, you can cut kernels from cobs in slabs and slice scallions into ¼"–½" pieces; cook together in a dry large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, turning and stirring occasionally, until charred in spots, about ⏱️ 4 minutes.)
