LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- From cookouts to celebrations, summertime grilling has become a social activity that brings together family, friends, and loved ones. Access to fresh, seasonal ingredients and various summer flavors can enhance dishes and bring them to life. A great way to further elevate your dish is to pair it with an equally tasty side. Sweet corn is always a winner, especially when charred on the grill and brushed with flavorful compound butter and sea salt. It’s the cook’s choice to make the corn the star of the show. Dishes such as elote or charred corn salad with feta cheese are small examples of summer delights to accompany the grilling menu.

The first decision is selecting which grilling method to use. Removing the husks, cooking in wrapped foil, or leaving the husk on are some popular methods of grilling corn. Don’t worry about boiling the corn, because our greatest task is bringing out the charred and smoky flavors from the grilling process.

Cooking without the husk:
Remove both the husk and silk from the corn. Heat the grill to 425 degrees. Next, apply your favorite seasonings such as a Cajun seasoning, garlic herb, or even a chipotle seasoning. Rub the corn with olive oil and place it on the grill. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside. Another option is cooking the corn in a grilling grate using the same cooking method.

Cooking with the husk:
Partially pull the husk back while being careful not to fully remove it. Remove the silk. Apply the corn with your favorite aromatics. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side to get a beautiful char.

Cooking wrapped in aluminum foil:
Wrap the corn in aluminum foil and grill it for 3-4 minutes on each side. It is important to note that while this technique is easy to clean up and doesn’t leave a mess, it procures the least amount of flavor compared to the methods listed above. Eat immediately with your favorite sauce or cut the corn off the cob using the recipe below. Enjoy!
