Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ears sweet corn in the husks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (if using salted butter, omit the salt)
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
  • Strip back the corn husks, as you would peel a banana, exposing the kernels. Bring the husks together beneath the ear of corn to make a sort of handle and tie with string.
  • Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.

GRILLED CORN WITH SESAME-SOY BUTTER



Grilled Corn With Sesame-Soy Butter image

Mark Twain advocated for boiling corn - preferably right in the corn field. But there's no better way to cook corn than by grilling. The high dry heat of the fire caramelizes the natural plant sugars, intensifying the corn's natural sweetness while adding a beguiling smoky flavor. The key is to brown the kernels on all sides. To form a convenient handle for eating the corn, fold the husk back below the stem end. In this version, the corn is seasoned with sesame, soy, mirin and butter.

Categories     vegetables

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin or honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
4 ears corn in husks
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds or toasted white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives or scallion greens

Steps:

  • Make the sesame soy butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and several grinds of pepper until well-blended. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in oil and drawn across the grate with tongs. Fold a 12-by-18-inch sheet of aluminum foil in thirds like a business letter to make a grill shield.
  • Meanwhile, cut the tapered end off one ear of corn. Pull the husk back over the stem end as if peeling a banana to expose the kernels. Rotate the corn as you peel it and gather the husks together below the stem. Tightly tie the husks with butcher's string or a strip of corn husk to form a handle. Discard the silks. Repeat with the remaining corn. Breathe a sigh of relief: The hard part is over. Brush each ear of corn on all sides with some of the sesame-soy butter.
  • Arrange the corn on the grate, sliding the folded aluminum foil grill shield under the husks to keep them from burning. Grill the corn, turning the ears so they roast evenly and basting the corn with some sesame-soy butter, until darkly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. (If you are using a gas grill, close the cover while grilling.)
  • Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush one final time with any remaining sesame-soy butter. Sprinkle the corn on all sides with sesame seeds and chives.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Corn: Choose corn with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid corn with brown or yellow husks, as it may be old or dry.
  • Prepare Corn Properly: Remove the husks and silk from the corn, but leave about 1 inch of the husk at the base to protect the kernels during grilling.
  • Use High-Quality Butter: For the best flavor, use unsalted butter that is at least 80% butterfat. Soften the butter slightly before mixing in the seasonings.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: The recipe provides a basic seasoning blend of garlic powder, salt, and pepper, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Grill Corn Properly: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Baste the Corn: Brush the corn with the seasoned butter while it is grilling. This will help to keep the corn moist and flavorful.
  • Serve Corn Immediately: Grilled corn is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve it with additional melted butter, salt, and pepper, if desired.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed at cookouts, picnics, and other gatherings. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and memorable dish that everyone will love. Whether you prefer classic butter and salt or more adventurous seasonings, grilled corn is a perfect way to celebrate the taste of summer.
