I figured it would be nice for me to show you guys exactly how I do it. I think it is a pretty awesome method. Plus, I am giving you a few of my very favorite butters to slather on to all the that perfectly charred corn.
First, you’re gonna want to preheat your grill to high heat. Then completely remove the husk from the corn. Now rub the corn with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Next take a small sheet of tin foil and wrap each sheet around the corn so there is only one layer of foil covering the corn.
Throw the foil covered corn directly on the grill. Grill the corn for twenty to twenty-five minutes, rotating the corn three or four times. After twenty minutes or so, remove the layer of foil and grill the corn for five to ten minutes longer or until the corn is lightly charred all over. Remove from the grill. Oh, and while the corn is grilling I like to stir together whatever butter I am making to go along with the corn. I think my favorite is the chipotle lime with cotija cheese. Or maybe the blue cheese. Can’t decide.
Let the corn cool for five minutes and then slather with butter. Devour!
Or….
Stand the corn up right like the photo below. Then using a sharp knife cut into the corn and slice the kernels. Now you can stir the corn into…… Salsa, pasta, more, pasta, stuffed into sweet potatoes, guacamole, corn fritters, slaw, salad, more salsa and I even put it on top of pizza. I told you I liked corn.
So simple, so easy, so good and so summer!
