Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ears fresh corn
1/2 pound slab bacon, cut into lardons
1 red onion, diced
Salt
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Clean ears of corn and place on a baking sheet, then roast until the corn starts to char, about 25 minutes. Let cool, then cut off corn kernels and set aside.
  • Add lardons to a medium skillet over medium-high heat and cook until crispy, about 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, then add the red onion and cook in the bacon fat. Sprinkle with salt, then add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the corn and season again. Turn off heat, add the basil and season again if necessary.
  • Mix together the vinegar, oil and a pinch of salt. Toss with the corn.

I followed the recipe exactly and the corn was still undercooked. I had to cook it for an additional 5 minutes.

This dish is a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less bacon lardons or omitting them altogether.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the bacon lardons. The dish was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bacon. I always have some in the fridge and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not usually a fan of corn on the cob, but this recipe changed my mind. The charred flavor and the bacon lardons were amazing.

This is my new favorite way to cook corn on the cob. The charring gives it a delicious smoky flavor and the bacon lardons and red onion are the perfect complement.

This charred corn dish was a hit at our summer cookout! The bacon lardons added a smoky, savory flavor, and the red onion gave it a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
