How to Cook Grilled Corn

Serves: 6

Preparation time: 5 mins

Cooking time: 35 mins

Ingredients needed to make Grilled Corn:

• 6 ears corn, husk on
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 medium lime, sliced into 6 wedges
• ¾ cup Cotija cheese, crumbled
• 6 tbsp mayonnaise
• ¾ tsp cayenne pepper
• ¾ tsp sea salt

Cooking instructions for Grilled Corn:

• Place the mayonnaise in a small bowl and whisk in the garlic, cayenne pepper and a dash of salt until they are blended properly.
• Place the cheese in another dish, long enough to accommodate the corns.
• Warm up a grill to 350 degrees F.
• Peel the husks halfway and get rid of the fibres before pulling the husk back to place.
• Arrange them on the hot grill and place the lid on top to cover.
• Flip each corn after every 10 minutes while its grills to cook every side evenly; it should take about 35 minutes to grill every side of the corn completely.
• A properly grilled corn will sport a charred husk which tends to come off from the corn.
• Transfer them onto a wire rack and let it rest until cool enough to handle.
• Peel the husks back further without detaching them completely and smother them with a lashing of the mayonnaise blend until they are covered completely.
• Place the corns onto the shallow dish with cheese and roll along it until well coated with the latter.
• Squeeze the juice out of the lemon and drizzle it over the coated corns.
• Serve right away.
