Grilled Corn on the Cob Foil
One of life’s greatest pleasures comes in late summer and early fall; I am speaking of course, of sweet corn. There is really nothing that can compete with the flavor of just picked sweet corn on the cob, especially on the grill! Grilled corn on the cob is a summer barbecue classic and when in season, it just does not seem like a cookout unless there is plenty of perfectly grilled corn on the picnic table.
This is one of the simplest recipes you’ll ever see - but ripe sweet corn really needs nothing more than a good grilling and some butter, salt and pepper to bring out its juicy, slightly sweet flavor.
Simple Grilled Panini Sandwiches
Ingredients -
4 ears sweet corn
Condiments and seasonings, as desired
Preparation:
Start by peeling back the husks on the sweet corn (don't remove them entirely) and remove the corn silk. Fill your sink with cold water and give the semi-husked corn a short soak; about 20-30 minutes.
Fold the husks back onto the corn and wrap in heavy duty foil sealing tightly - they are now ready for the grill! Grill for about 25 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is.
Turn the corn regularly and watch the condition of the foil. Inside the foil husk, the corn is being steamed.
Once the husks have browned remove from the foil, the corn is ready to eat; however, if you prefer a little bit of char on your corn as many do, simply grill for an extra five minutes, turning regularly.
This will partially caramelize the corn, giving it a little extra kick of sweetness as well as more grill flavor.
Place on foil for easy cleanup and serve at once with the seasonings of your choice - or even none at all!
