Grilled corn on the cob is a delicious summer treat! Here's how to enjoy it:
Preparing Your Grilled Corn
First, you'll need to grill the corn. The reference suggests grilling the corn for about 15 minutes, turning every 3-5 minutes, until all sides are cooked. After grilling, tie back the husks to create a handy handle.
Serving and Enjoying Grilled Corn
The simplest and most classic way to eat grilled corn is with some basic seasonings. The reference specifically mentions serving it with:
- Butter: Melted butter adds richness and enhances the corn's natural sweetness.
- Salt: A sprinkle of salt brings out the corn's flavor.
- Pepper: Freshly ground black pepper adds a subtle spice.
Beyond this, you can get creative! Here are some other ideas:
- Spicy Lime: Drizzle with lime juice and add a pinch of chili powder for a zesty kick.
- Herby: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives for a fresh, herbaceous taste.
- Cheese: Crumble cotija, feta, or parmesan cheese over the top.
- Mayonnaise and Chili Powder: A simple and popular option for many.
Holding and Eating Your Corn
Use the tied-back husks as a handle to prevent burning your fingers. You can eat the corn directly off the cob or cut the kernels off the cob to add to salads or other dishes.
