Grilled Corn

Grilling corn is my favorite way to prepare this end of the summer favorite.  It makes not so sweet corn, sweeter and it makes sweet corn spectacular.




And it's sooooooo easy!

1. Get your awesome local corn.


2. Pull back husk and remove as much of the silk as you can.

3. Try to put back husk.  It won't go back like before but do the best you can.

4. Load onto the grill. Turn after 15 minutes.





5. Turn periodically throughout the next 15 minutes. 

(Husks will burn a little.  Just pick up with tongs, blow out and move them around.  Usually it is only the very dry parts at the end. )

They look pretty gnarly by the end, not to worry.  They are delish corn packages waiting to be eaten.



Let sit for a few minutes and peel back the husks carefully. 






Topping ideas:
Good ole butter and salt
Compound butters (cilantro, basil, garlic etc.)
Ranch dressing and bacon crumbles
Chipolte Mayo and Cotija cheese (dry Mexican cheese) with a squeeze of lime
Salsa
Roasted Garlic smear
The options are endless.......
