Grilling corn on the cob adds the most spectacular sweet and smoky flavor to this quintessential vegetable of summer.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Yield: 8 servings
Ingredients:
- 8 ears corn on the cob
- butter, salt, and pepper
Preparation:
Carefully peel back husks from corn, leaving them attached at the base. Remove silk from corn and discard. Smooth husks back over corn and tie with a piece of string to keep closed. Soak corn in cold water for 1 hour.
When ready to grill, drain corn, shaking and squeezing off excess water. Place on grill 4-6" from medium high coals and grill for 12-18 minutes until corn is tender. Turn corn frequently while cooking. Remove string and peel back husks to serve.
Note: adding salt to the water for soaking the corn can make the kernels tough.
