Categories     side-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ears fresh corn, unshucked
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 limes, zest finely grated
1 bunch fresh chervil, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound queso fresco, finely grated
1/4 cup Ancho Chile Rub, recipe follows, or cayenne pepper
3 ancho chiles, seeded and hand-torn into pieces
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
  • While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Spread the queso fresco onto another plate.
  • Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
  • For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

Using corn roasted on a grill, or toasted in a skillet, a colorful salad with peppers, spices, and lime juice makes a delicious addition to picnics or potlucks. This is an excellent picnic recipe because it has no mayo or other ingredients that spoil quickly. It is also fantastic on a grilled steak sandwich or in a vegetarian taco!

Provided by ROOTIETOOT

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 ears corn, husked
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
½ medium poblano pepper, diced
2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup finely chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place corn on the preheated grill and cook, turning often, until roasted and charred all over, about 10 minutes.
  • While corn is grilling, heat a small, dry skillet over high heat. Add cumin seeds and shake constantly until dark and aromatic, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and crush in a mortar and pestle; set aside.
  • Remove corn from the grill and let cool. Cut off kernels with a knife and discard cobs.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 of the corn kernels and cook, stirring occasionally, until corn has toasty brown bits on it, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining oil and corn to the skillet with garlic, crushed cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 3 to 5 minutes, then add to the first batch of corn.
  • Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, green onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Mix everything together and let sit until flavors have blended, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest corn possible. Fresh corn will have plump kernels and a bright yellow color. Avoid corn that is dry or has brown spots.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the corn from burning and will give it a nice charred flavor.
  • Keep the corn moving on the grill. This will help to prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the corn until it is tender. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the corn immediately with lime butter and cracked black pepper.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy summer side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a dish that is both flavorful and healthy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give grilled corn on the cob a try. You won't be disappointed!
