Preparation
Cook the rice
- Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to oil the grill first.
- In a medium pot, combine the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions), ⅓ of the spices and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, zest and juice the lime.

- Thinly slice the radishes.
- Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
Grill the corn & tomatillos
- Add the corn and tomatillos to the BBQ and grill, turning occasionally, 7 to 9 min., until tender and beginning to brown.
- Transfer to a cutting board.
- Small-dice the tomatillos.
- Cut the corn kernels off the cobs.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
Make the radish salad
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the radishes, ⅓ of the lime juice, ⅓ of the cilantro, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Make the salsa & serve
- To the bowl of corn and tomatillos, add the lime zest, remaining lime juice and cilantro, a drizzle of oil and S&P; toss well.
