Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 ears corn
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Perfectly Grilled Corn, recipe follows
  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the ancho powder, paprika, cumin and cayenne and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.
  • Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving and spread the butter over the corn while hot.
  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
  • Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels.
  • How to remove corn kernels from cob: To remove kernels from cobs of either raw or cooked corn, stand cob upright on its stem end in a large pan, holding tip with fingers. Cut down the sides of cob with sharp paring knife, releasing kernels without cutting into cob. Run dull edge of knife down the cob to release any remaining corn and liquid.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn: Select fresh corn on the cob with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove the starch and results in a more tender and flavorful cob.
  • Use a large pot: Make sure you have a large pot that can accommodate all the corncobs comfortably without overcrowding.
  • Season the water: Add salt, sugar, and butter to the water before boiling the corn. This will enhance the flavor of the corn.
  • Cook the corn properly: Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the corn is tender. Overcooking can make the corn tough and chewy.
  • Brush with butter: After cooking, brush the corncobs with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  • Add toppings: Get creative and add your favorite toppings to the corn, such as grated Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped herbs, or chili powder.
