Fold husk back over corn and grill, turning often, for 35 minutes (change heat to medium-high for the last ten minutes of grilling). Serve immediately.

SOUTHWEST CORN, CHILI, AND CUMIN SAUTé

Steps:

• Char poblano chilies directly over gas flame or in broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop chilies. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
• Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion and sauté until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add corn, oregano, 1 teaspoon chipotle chilies, and poblano chilies and sauté until corn is heated through, about 5 minutes. Stir in radishes, 1/2 cup cilantro, lime juice, and lime peel. Sauté until radishes are slightly softened but still retain their color, about 2 minutes. Add more chipotle chilies by 1/2 teaspoonfuls, depending on spiciness desired. Season generously with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired, and serve.
• Fresh green chilies, often called pasillas; sold at Latin American markets and some supermarkets.
• ** Chipotle chilies canned in a spicy tomato sauce, sometimes called adobo, are available at Latin American markets, specialty foods stores, and some supermarkets.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CHILIES, QUESO FRESCO AND LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Soak the corn in cold water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 25 to 30 minutes, turning frequently.
• While the corn is grilling, make the lime butter. In a small bowl, add the butter, lime juice, tarragon and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (they will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold onto it like a handle. Roll the corn in the butter. Top with a good amount of the queso fresco and sprinkle with the spice mixture. Serve immediately.
• For the spice mixture, combine all ingredients.

CHILI AND CUMIN BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pull husks back from corn; remove silks from corn.
• Place them on the grill. Brush butter mixture evenly over corn. Grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve with lime wedges.
• Note: Corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill. Cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back. When buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes. Basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs. Once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are. This way, they won't burn the mouth.
