Barbecued Corn On The Cob Recipes

BARBECUED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Put 4 cobs of corn into a large bowl of cold water to soak for 30 minutes.
• Beat together butter, red chilli and chopped fresh coriander. Shake off the excess water from the corn and put each onto a sheet of foil. Divide the butter between each and wrap up in the foil.
• Cook on the barbecue over a low to medium heat for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally. Open carefully, making sure you don't lose any of the flavoured butter.

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.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Peel back corn husks and remove silk. Place 1 tablespoon butter, salt and pepper on each piece of corn. Close husks.
• Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil. Place on the prepared grill. Cook approximately 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until corn is tender.

TASTY BBQ CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the chili powder, oregano, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend in the softened butter. Apply this mixture to each ear of corn, and place each ear onto a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap the corn. Wrap like a burrito, and twist the ends to close.
• Place wrapped corn on the preheated grill, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, until tender when poked with a fork. Turn corn occasionally during cooking.

GUACAMOLE WITH GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Prepare a coal or gas grill so it's at high heat. Add the corn and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 15 minutes. When corn is cool enough to handle, hold one ear upright in a large bowl and, using a sharp knife, cut off the kernels. Discard the cob, then repeat with the other ear. Let cool completely before adding to the finished guacamole.
• Meanwhile, in a large granite mortar and pestle or molcajete (see Tip), combine the onion, chile, cilantro and salt. Pound into a rough paste, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the paste to a large bowl.
• Add the flesh of the avocados and the lime juice. Crush the avocados into a chunky dip using the pestle or the back of a large spoon. Once corn kernels are completely cooled, add them and the Cotija to the large bowl, reserving a little of each for garnish. Fold together the guacamole, corn and cheese, and season to taste with more salt and lime juice. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro, Cotija and corn. Serve immediately with tortilla chips. (Try to eat in one sitting. Leftover guacamole stored in the fridge turns brown quickly.)

BARBECUED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Mash together the butter, honey, ketchup, garlic and some seasoning, beating until quite smooth. At this point, if you are also cooking for children, split the mix into two serving bowls, before stirring the harissa into just one bowl. Add a pastry brush to each butter mix.
• Wrap each corn cob in a double layer of foil. Barbecue, turning, for 30-35 mins until tender and a little charred. If you want them more blackened, simply unwrap and throw directly on the barbecue for a few more mins.
• Pile onto plates and let everyone butter their own.

CHEESY BARBECUED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat outdoor grill or preheat oven to 400°F.
• Shuck corn. If desired, leave husks attached to cob to use as holders.
• In a small bowl, combine softened butter, chili powder, and powdered cheese packet or creamy cheese sauce.
• Spread butter on corn and wrap each ear individually in foil.
• Place on the grill and close the lid or place in the oven. Cook 25 to 30 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until corn is tender. Remove foil and serve.
