sweet corn with a kick
sweet corn time is here so if you want something a little bit different try this
get a can of chipolatas in adobe sauce. take a spoon full or 2 of the sauce and mix it with a zest of 1 lime and half a stick of butter. Heat the mix up and brush in on the husked corn. Put the corn on a grille that's running around 400. and turn it often, each time brushing on the butter mix.

That sounds great.

Sounds good. When I open a can of chipoltes in adobo, I pulverize everything and freeze the remainder in a plastic container. Doesn't freeze too hard, so can be dug out with a spoon whenever needed.

Must try this! I have never grilled corn in the husk. Just go till it starts browning up?

take it out of the husk. you can do it in also, but the flavor isn't as good. the old way was to peel the husks back and then soak it in water for awhile , then pull the husks back up and grill it.

Bill:

I soak the ears in the sink for 30 minutes or so in cold water. No salt. Nothing. I do not pull the husks back.

I then grill the corn on a hot grill for 15-20 minutes max turning every 5 minutes. The husks will just start to get a bit charred. This is over a charcoal Weber.

Be careful when removing husks as they will be hot. Wrap a kitchen towel around the base and strip it back. The silk comes of very easily.

Enjoy!

That sounds good!

Thirty plus years ago when I was still on the farm we had 20 acres of sweet corn. I would usually have a half dozen most days. You just can't beat sweet corn fresh from the filed dropped in to boiling water for two minutes then butter, salt and peppered.

Every once in a while I would cut the corn off a couple of ears and pan fry it with some chopped onions and Serrano peppers.

Picking sweet corn six mornings a week got old pretty quick. But, today I sure have fond memories of those days.

I've found it's a lot easier to husk the corn before grilling, plus I like how the corn caramelizes from the direct heat of the grill, either way grilled corn is a great summertime dish, cheers.
