Everyone loves corn on the cob because
not only does it taste great, it's fun to eat! Here's how to
grill this summertime favorite.
Grilled Corn on the
Cob
6 fresh ears of corn
2 tablespoons margarine or butter
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
- Peel husks back, but do not remove. Using
a stiff brush or your fingers, remove silk from corn. Pull husks
back up around corn. In a large saucepan or container, cover
corn (husks on) with cold water. Soak for at least 1 hour. Drain,
shaking corn to remove excess water. Cover corn as much as possible
with husks. If necessary, tie the tips of the husks together
with wet kitchen string.
- Grill corn (with husks) on an uncovered
grill directly over medium-hot coals about 25 minutes or until
tender, turning several times. Carefully remove the husks and
strings.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine
margarine or butter, lemon juice, and thyme. Heat on the grill
or stovetop until margarine is melted. Brush mixture over the
corn before serving.
Makes 6 side-dish servings.
