Grilled Corn on the Cob is one of our favorite vegetable dishes, as its delicious and easy to make.  As long as you've got your grill fired up, why not grill a few ears?


Special tools:  Grill, garden twine
Preparation time:  About 10 minutes, plus at least 30 minutes to soak in ice water
Cooking time:  About 20 minutes
Yield:  1 ear per person


1 ear of corn per person, do not remove husk
Olive oil, as needed
Salt and pepper to taste


Carefully peel back green husks, but do not remove.  Remove silk.  Using garden twine, tie husks tightly to each ear of corn.  Soak about 30 minutes in ice water.

Heat grill to high heat.  Put corn on grill for a total cooking time of about 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes.  For an attractive presentation, sear the husks.  After 15 minutes, remove corn from grill, and peel back husks, and sear the corn, to produce attractive grill marks...

To serve, remove husks and drizzle with olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.


This recipe was inspired from numerous trips to northeastern Mexico, where I've observed street vendors grilling corn grilled in this manner.  To serve grilled corn the authentic Mexican way, grill the corn as I've described but when you serve it, put on lots of butter and mayonnaise, and drizzle it with lime juice.  I don't eat it that way, as I try to watch my weight!
