Beer-Grilled Corn w/ Chile Butter
|
| |
This is a nifty technique for cooking corn. The beer steams and flavors the corn, and the intense heat of the grill still gives you that grilled, slightly smoky flavor. I finish this version corn grill-steaming technique with a tasty compound butter, which you can tweak to your heart's content.
* 8 ears fresh sweet corn
* Good, dark beer (like Abita Amber or Turbodog, or whatever you like; don't use swill like Coors Light)
* 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
* Juice of 1/2 lime
* 2 tablespoons finely minced cilantro
* 1 small clove of garlic, crushed into a paste
* Ground chile to taste (I like a mixture of something sweet and mild, like pasilla, and something hot)
* Salt to taste
Make a compound butter by mixing the softened butter, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, chiles and salt (or whatever kind of compound butter ingredients you like; any herbs or spices will do very well). Wrap up in a piece of plastic wrap and twist the ends until you have a log of butter. Refrigerate until firm.
Shuck the corn and remove the silk, and place in the middle of a large rectangular piece of aluminum foil. Pour about 2 tablespoons of beer over the corn and wrap it up in the foil so that the beer doesn't leak out.
Grill the corn, turning a few times, for about 15 minutes or until done. Serve with the compound butter and extra salt, and enjoy.

that's too much work when corn grilled in it's own shuck is so tasty that it don't need no fancy butter.
Be seeing you!

tried this tonight, turned out great. north indians like to grill corn sans husk on low for a long period of time, they like the slight chewiness and texture, don't like it too juicy. then rubbed down w/ a lime wedge and then butter pressed into a mix of chile powder, salt, pepper rubbed on afterward. I'm not a huge fan of how much they dry it out.
The texture doing it this way turned out to be halfway between that of roasting w/ husk and without, which I loved, and the other flavors are mostly that which I'm accustomed to w/ roasted corn.
allsome, dude. thanks!

Ank- Thks for letting me know you tried and enjoyed it. It is one of those recipes that generally stars tongue's wagging, figuratively and literally, whenever it's done. 
Mr Wiz- Proud to be of service!
