Grilled Marjoram Corn Recipes

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over high heat (about 450˚ to 500˚).
• For the grilled corn: Pull off all of the layers of the green husk, except for the two layers closest to the kernels. Pull those two layers back without detaching them. Remove all of the thin threads of silk from around the kernels of the corn. Fold the reserved pieces of husk back over the corn kernels, leaving a couple of gaps of open space.
• Place the corn on the grill over direct heat, cover and cook for 5 minutes. Rotate each ear with a ¼ turn, cover and continue to cook 5 more minutes. Repeat 1 to 2 more times to cook all sides of the corn, 15 to 20 minutes total. Corn will become bright yellow and caramelized in spots when cooked through. Remove from the heat.
• For the garlic-chive butter: In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, chives, paprika, and black pepper. Mash and stir with a fork to combine.
• Remove the charred husks from the corn. Spread all over with garlic-chive butter, sprinkle with salt, and serve immediately.

BALTIMORE STYLE GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Whisk together the buttermilk and seafood seasoning in a large bowl. Submerge the corn in the seasoned buttermilk and allow to soak at room temperature for 15 minutes or up to 3 hours.
• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Remove the corn from the buttermilk and allow the excess liquid to drain off. Place on the direct heat side of the grill and char on all sides, about 1 minute per side. Move to the indirect heat side of the grill, then close the lid and cook until cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and serve!

MARGARITA GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Peel back the husks of each ear of corn, leaving them attached at the bottom. Remove the corn silk strings around the kernels. Return the husks back around the corn. Soak corn in a bowl of lukewarm water for 1 hour.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Mix salt and lime zest together in a bowl.
• Remove corn from water and peel back husks, keeping them attached at the bottom. Pat corn dry using paper towels, leaving the husks wet. Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle lime salt and chili powder over the entire surface of each cob of corn.
• Cook corn on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until tender, about 25 minutes.

CORN ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat the garlic and butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the butter with the flavor of garlic. Do not let the butter simmer. Stir together the sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a small dish. Stir into the butter mixture along with the lime juice and hot sauce until evenly blended. Brush the ears of corn generously with the garlic butter; reserve remaining butter.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, rotating occasionally until the corn is hot and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the corn with the remaining butter as the corn cooks.
