Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ears fresh sweet corn, in their husks
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
About 1/2 cup Thick Cream or commercial sour cream mixed with a little milk or cream
1/3 cup crumbled Mexican queso anejo or queso fresco, or cheese like Parmesan, feta or farmer's cheese
About 1 tablespoon hot powdered chile

Steps:

  • 1. Preliminaries. About an hour before serving, place the ears of corn in a deep bowl, cover with cold water and weight with a plate to keep them submerged. Light your charcoal fire and let it burn until the bed of coals is medium-hot; adjust the grill 4 inches above the fire.
  • 2. Grilling the corn. Lay the corn on the grill and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently, until the outer leaves are blackened. Remove, let cool several minutes, then remove the husks and silk. About 10 minutes before serving brush the corn with melted butter, return to the grill and turn frequently until nicely browned. Serve right away, passing the cream, cheese and powdered chile for your guests to use to their own liking.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the corn itself was cooked perfectly. Might try it again with less chile next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. The corn was cooked well, but the cheese and chile topping needed more flavor.

Great recipe! The corn was perfectly charred and the cheese was melted and gooey. The chile added a nice kick, but it wasn't too spicy.
