Broiler Grilled Corn Recipes

PERFECTLY GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium.
• Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
• Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
• Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.
• Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.

BROILER-GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Crush chipotle in mortar and pestle, or grind in a spice grinder. Add chipotle, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, sugar and salt to yogurt and stir really well. Taste for seasoning; each ear only gets a thin coat, so if you want it hot, add more cayenne.
• Strip corn of husks and silk. Arrange on broiler tray in a single layer. Brush all sides with butter and broil 5 minutes. Turn over and broil another 5 minutes. Brush all sides with butter again. Continue cooking and turning often until corn is golden and a few kernels are charred.
• Transfer corn to a platter. Smear each ear with about 2 tbsp of yogurt mixture, spreading evenly. Sprinkle all over with parmesan and squeeze lime wedges over. Eat hot.

• When fire is hot (you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 1 to 2 seconds) drain corn and grill (in husks) on lightly oiled grill rack, uncovered, turning, 10 minutes. Pull back husks and grill corn, turning, until browned and tender, about 5 minutes more.
• Brush corn with butter and season with salt.
