GRILLED CORN ON THE COB



Grilled Corn On The Cob image

There are so many methods for cooking corn, but this grilled corn on the cob comes out delicious every time. It's an easy side dish for summer!

Categories     grilled     side dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ears yellow corn, in the husk
Kosher salt, for serving
6 tbsp. salted butter, softened
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 tbsp. chopped chives
1/4 tsp. ground paprika
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat (about 450˚ to 500˚).
  • For the grilled corn: Pull off all of the layers of the green husk, except for the two layers closest to the kernels. Pull those two layers back without detaching them. Remove all of the thin threads of silk from around the kernels of the corn. Fold the reserved pieces of husk back over the corn kernels, leaving a couple of gaps of open space.
  • Place the corn on the grill over direct heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Rotate each ear with a ¼ turn, cover and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Repeat 1 to 2 more times to cook all sides of the corn, 15 to 20 minutes total. Corn will become bright yellow and caramelized in spots when cooked through. Remove from the heat.
  • For the garlic-chive butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chives, paprika, and black pepper. Mash and stir with a fork to combine.
  • Remove the charred husks from the corn. Spread all over with garlic-chive butter, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.

Categories     side-dish

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.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WRAPPED IN FOIL

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt
4 ears yellow corn, shucked
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4 wedges fresh lime

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the butter, cumin, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush half of the butter mixture over the ears of corn and wrap each ear in a piece of heavy-duty foil.
  • 2. Place the wrapped ears of corn on the grill and cook, turning every 10 minutes, until the corn feels soft on all sides when you squeeze it with tongs, about 30 minutes. Remove from the grill and cool for about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Unwrap the corn, being careful of steam, and place on a serving platter. Brush with the remaining butter mixture, sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Soak the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you are using a charcoal grill, wait until the coals are white-hot.
  • Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil. This will help to keep the kernels moist and prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Grill the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning every few minutes. The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, salt, pepper, Parmesan cheese, and chili powder.

Conclusion:

Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious and easy summer side dish. By following these tips, you can grill perfect corn on the cob every time. So fire up your grill and enjoy this classic summer treat!
