Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ears corn
Kosher salt
BBQ Butter, recipe follows
Herb Butter, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives or tarragon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 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 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. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
  • 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 paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder 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.
  • Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.

Tips:

  • Choose the right corn. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and fresh, green husks.
  • Soak the corn. Soaking the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Use a hot grill. The hotter the grill, the better the corn will be. Aim for a grill temperature of at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Grill the corn directly over the heat. This will give the corn a nice charred flavor.
  • Turn the corn frequently. Turn the corn every few minutes to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Brush the corn with flavored butter. Flavored butter adds a delicious flavor to the corn. Try using a butter flavored with herbs, spices, or citrus.
  • Serve the corn immediately. Grilled corn is best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a larger meal. With its slightly charred exterior and tender, juicy interior, grilled corn is a summertime favorite that is sure to please everyone at your next gathering.
