While working on converting the Mexican Slow Cooked Pulled Pork to “low and slow” with the boys from The Smoking Joint, we had the idea to create a BBQ Corn Salsa to cut through the richness of the pork.
We opted to smoke the corn on the Traeger while cooking the pork, but I have included Thermomix instructions as well.
The other week the boys from The Smoking Joint & I converted my Mexican Pulled Pork to low & slow in my Traeger Timberline 850 from Barbeques Galore.
We spent the day cooking a Mexican feast from my cookbook A Little Taste of Mexico and developed a new BBQ Corn Salsa recipe to accompany the delicious Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork.
I’ve provided cooking instructions for the corn to be smoked Low & Slow or steamed in the Thermomix.
You might like to alternatively char your corn on a grill/BBQ if you don’t own a smoker.
I highly recommend making this salsa a couple of hours in advance to serving so the flavours have time to marinate and really pop.
I know the Low & Slow cooking instructions do seem like a little bit of extra effort for some corn, but I promise it is worth it and you can cook your pulled pork at the same time.
If you do try it, please leave me a comment below and let me know what you think!

Ingredients
- 4 large sweet corns husks, silks removed

- Keep corn in their jackets and smoke at 250° F for around 2 hours. You can strip the husks and silks after smoking and char on an open flame if you desire.
- When corn is cooked, cut kernels off and combine in a bowl with remaining ingredients. I recommend doing this at least a few hours before serving for best results.
