1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
2. Add the onion and cook for 2 minutes, until translucent.
3. Add the corn, beans, red pepper, tomatoes, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried sage, salt, and the fresh ground black pepper. 
4. Cook, stirring occasionally until all vegetables are tender and nearly cooked, about 5 to 6 minutes.
5. Stir in the salted butter and parsley (if using) and cook 1 minute more, until the butter is melted. 
6. Taste and add the additional salt if desired. 
7. Serve warm. Store leftovers up to 3 days refrigerated.

1. Boiled: Place 1 tablespoon salt in a large pot of water and bring it to a boil. This takes about 15 to 20 minutes, so plan accordingly. Shuck the corn, removing the silk.
   When the water is boiling, place the corn cobs in the pot. Boil covered for 5 minutes, until bright yellow and cooked through. Season with butter, salt and pepper.
2. Grilled: Heat a grill to medium high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit). Shuck the corn by peeling down the outside layers one at a time and keeping them attached, facing downwards away from the cob. When you’ve finished, use kitchen twine or string to tie the leaves together (see the photos). This step is optional; it makes a natural handle for eating the corn. Otherwise, simply shuck the corn. Use your hands to rub oil on each corn cob evenly. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook until it begins to blacken, then turn. Cook about 12 to 15 minutes total, until blackened on all sides. Serve immediately with butter and salt, using the tied husks as a handle for easy eating.
3. Grilled in foil: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit).
   Shuck the corn. Place each corn cob in a sheet of aluminum foil. Rub it with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top it with a few thin pats of butter (½ tablespoon in each packet). Seal foil around corn, sealing the edges at the top but not making it too tight. Poke a few small holes in each packet. Place the packets on the grill grates and grill for 20 to 25 minutes, turning occasionally, until corn is bright yellow and cooked.
4. Oven roasted: Preheat an oven to 350 degrees Farenheit. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut off the excess corn silk from each ear of corn. Remove any loose outer pieces of husk. Place ears with husks on directly onto the oven grates, spacing them out evenly. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove the corn from oven and allow it to cool slightly before peeling off the husks. Season as desired (we like butter or olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper).

On the Grates

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F).
2. Shuck the corn by peeling down the outside layers one at a time, keeping them attached and facing downwards away from the cob. 
3. Optional: Use kitchen twine or string to tie the leaves together and make a natural handle for eating the corn. 
4. Use your hands to rub oil on each corn cob evenly. 
5. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook until it begins to blacken, then turn.
6. Cook 12-15 minutes total, until blackened on all sides. 
7. Serve immediately with butter and sea salt, using the tied corn husks as a handle for easy eating.

In Foil

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F).
2. Shuck the corn, and place each corn cob in a sheet of aluminum foil. 
3. Rub the corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. 
4. Top each packet with ½ tablespoon butter. 
5. Seal the foil around the corn without making it too tight. 
6. Poke a few small holes in each packet. 
7. Place the packets on the grill grates and grill for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is bright yellow and cooked.

In the Husks

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-450°F).
2. Shuck the corn by peeling down the outside layers one at a time and keeping them attached, facing downwards away from the cob. 
3. Remove the silk, then pull the husks back up over the corn. 
4. Soak the corn cobs in cool water for at least 20 minutes to prevent scorching. 
5. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook until the husk begins to blacken, then turn. 
6. Cook 20-22 minutes total, until the corn is cooked through. To check whether it’s done, pull back the husk on one corn to make sure it is bright yellow to the bottom of the cob.
7. Serve immediately with butter and salt.

1. Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. 
2. To make the meatballs, in a large food processor, process the garlic, oats, and fennel seeds until finely ground. Add the nuts and process until mostly ground. Add the chickpeas, feta cheese, egg, olive oil, and spices, and pulse a few times to combine. 
3. Scoop out 1½ Tbsp portions of the mixture and roll into 20 to 21 uniform balls (a #40 cookie scoop is helpful). Place the meatballs on the prepared sheet and brush the tops with olive oil. 
4. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until set and browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven, flip the balls over to show the browned side up, and allow to cool for 3 minutes before serving. Store up to 5 days refrigerated.
