• Butter and salt. The classic is the best! You can make it even more special by adding smoked paprika to the mix and finely chopped parsley.
• Mexican street corn (aka Elote). Our favourite Elote recipe: Top the corn with lime cream and chilli powder and then crumble cheese on top.
• Old Bay. This seasoning mix is great for corn and adds a huge flavour.
• Feta and Parmesan and chopped fresh basil. Fresh corn can be made sing with a simple topping of butter, two pieces of cheese, and butter.

Ingredients

• 4 to 8 ears of corn

Instructions

1. Boil: Add 1 tablespoon salt to a large saucepan of water. Could you bring it to a boil? It will take about 15 to 20 minutes. Plan accordingly. Remove the silk from the corn by shucking it.
2. Once the water has boiled, add the corn cobs to the pot. Boil the corn cobs covered for five minutes until they are bright yellow and cooked through. Season with butter, salt, and pepper.
3. Grill: Heat the grill to medium heat (375-450 degrees Fahrenheit). Peel the outer layers of the corn and keep them attached. Keep the corn on the cob, with the ends facing down. Once you are done, tie the leaves together using kitchen twine or string (see photos). This is an optional step, but it gives you a natural way to eat corn. You can shuck the corn. Apply oil to each corn cob with your hands. Cook the corn directly on the grill grates until it turns black. Cook the corn for 12-15 minutes, or until it is blackened on all sides. Serve immediately with butter, salt, and tied husks for easy eating.
4. Grilled with foil: Heat a grill to medium heat (375-450 degrees Fahrenheit).
5. The corn should be steamed. Each corn cob should be placed in an aluminium foil sheet. Use olive oil to rub it, and then sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Add a few thin pats of butter to the top (1/2 teaspoon per packet). Wrap foil around the corn, sealing it at the edges but not too tightly. Each packet should have a few holes punched. Place the packets on the grill grates. Grill for 20-25 minutes, turning once or twice until the corn turns bright yellow.
6. Oven-roasted Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a knife or kitchen scissors to remove excess corn silk from each corn ear. Take out any husks that are not completely removed. Place the husk-covered ears directly on the oven grates. Space them evenly. Bake for 35 minutes. Allow the corn to cool in the oven for a few minutes before removing the husks. Season the corn as you like (we like butter, olive oil, Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper).
