FIELD PEA AND CORN SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to high. Grill the corn, turning often, until the husks are charred in spots and the kernels undergo the color change that indicates that they are cooked, about 10 minutes. (Peel back the husks and check a few kernels to be sure.) When the corn is cool enough to handle, husk it and cut the kernels from the cob. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
• Brush the onion slices lightly with olive oil on both sides. Grill the onion on both sides until charred in spots and lightly softened, about 5 minutes. Dice neatly and place in the bowl with the corn.
• Add the remaining ingredients and toss gently. Let rest at room temperature for 1 hour, then serve.

FRESH CORN AND PEA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels; set aside. Dispose of all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from the skillet. Cook the onion and celery until the onions are translucent but not browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Add the fresh peas and enough cool water to cover. Simmer the bean mixture, uncovered, over medium-low heat until the peas are tender, up to 45 minutes. Thoroughly drain off the liquid and pour the pea mixture into a large bowl.
• Place the peas in a large bowl along with the cooked onion, celery, and garlic; stir until combined. If you are using canned peas, don't cook them; just rinse and drain. Stir in the red and green bell peppers, and fresh corn.
• In a bowl, whisk together the vinegars, olive oil, salt, and pepper until emulsified. Pour into the pea mixture and toss to combine well. Crumble the bacon into bite-size pieces and stir it into the salad with the chopped chives and parsley.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours so the flavors can blend. Serve cold or at room temperature.

• tip
• A word about peas: When Southerners talk peas, also known as southern peas or cowpeas, they often are talking about what people in other parts of the country call beans. Most have a small but pronounced eye that marks where the pea was attached to the pod. (Eyeless cream peas are among the exceptions.) For obvious reasons, Southerners also fondly refer to the peas as "shellies," and as a result of the hours I spent as a child shelling them, I can attest to the sad fact that they take a lot longer to liberate from their shells than they do to eat.
