CHILI-LIME GRILLED CORN-ON-THE-COB

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Soak husked ears of corn in a bowl of water for 5 to 10 minutes. Mix lime juice, chili powder, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl.
• Remove corn from water and grill, turning often, until corn is golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Brush ears with seasoned lime juice as you turn the corn.

CORN ON THE COB WITH LIME, FISH SAUCE AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, drop corn in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
• Meanwhile, zest the lime. Set aside the zest then cut the lime in half. Cut one half into four wedges and squeeze the remaining half into a small bowl. Stir the mayonnaise, fish sauce and sugar into the lime juice.
• Slather hot corn with mayonnaise mixture. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, or, for maximum coverage, roll corn in peanuts spread on a plate. Sprinkle with lime zest and cilantro, if using. Serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

CHILI LIME CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine butter, lime zest and juice, chili powder, garlic and salt and pepper and set aside.
• Carefully peel back husk from the ear, without detaching from the bottom, remove silk from corn, fold the husk back around the ears and soak in water for 30 to 45 minutes. Make sure to weigh down the ears so that they are fully submerged.
• Preheat a grill to medium, indirect heat. Remove ears from water, drain, open husk, dry ears with paper towel and spread butter mixture evenly on corn. 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.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CHEESE AND LIME

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Soak corn in husks in cold water 10 minutes. Drain corn and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until husks are charred, about 10 minutes. Shuck corn and grill until kernels are browned in spots, about 10 minutes.
• While corn is grilling, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and cayenne. Using the small teardrop-shaped holes on a four-sided grater grate cotija.
• Brush mayonnaise mixture onto hot corn and sprinkle with cojita.
• Serve corn on the cob with lime wedges.

ROASTED OR GRILLED CORN WITH CHIPOTLE HONEY LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Whisk together Chipotle Honey Lime Butter ingredients in a medium bowl, set aside.
• TO GRILL: Trim the silk from the top of each ear of corn (to prevent it from catching fire) and peel away the first layer of husks.
• Pull down the outer husks of the corn to the base (but DO NOT REMOVE) and remove all of the silk. Fold husks back into place, and soak cobs COMPLETELY submerged in a pot of cold water lightly seasoned with salt for 15 minutes. (I place a second large bowl of water on the husks to keep them completely under the water because they like to float).
• Meanwhile, grease grill and preheat to a medium (350 degees F). After soaking, remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess water.
• Place corn on the grill, close the cover and grill, turning every 5 minutes, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until kernels are tender (outer husks will become quite charred).
• When corn is cool enough to handle, (about 5 minutes) remove husks and brush with Chipotle Honey Lime Butter. You can also add Chipotle Honey Lime Butter to a shallow dish and add corn and turn to coat.
• Sprinkle corn with Cotija cheese and cilantro and season liberally with freshly cracked salt. Serve immediately. For spicier corn, sprinkle with additional chipotle chili powder.
• TO ROAST: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pull down the outer husks of the corn to the base (but DO NOT REMOVE) and remove all of the silk. Brush the corn kernels lightly with Chipotle Honey Butter and pull husks up back over corn.
• Place corn on an aluminum covered baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes or until tender.
• When corn is cool enough to handle, remove husks and brush with Chipotle Honey Lime Butter. You can also add Chipotle Honey Lime Butter to a shallow dish and add corn and turn to coat.
• Sprinkle corn with Cotija cheese and cilantro and season liberally with freshly cracked salt. Serve immediately. For spicier corn, sprinkle with additional chipotle chili powder.

SAUTEED CORN ON THE COB WITH CHILI-LIME-CILANTRO SPREAD

Steps:

• Place corn on a microwave-safe plate; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high power until corn is fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. (Leaving plastic wrap in place, corn can be made up to 2 hours ahead.)
• Mix sour cream, cilantro, chili powder, lime juice, salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve. (Makes 1/2 cup.)
• About 10 minutes before serving time, heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add corn and cook, turning with kitchen tongs every few minutes, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately, with sour cream spread passed separately.
