8 ingredients
15 steps
Ingredients
- 4 large ears fresh yellow sweet corn, with husks
- 14 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 garlic clove, minced fine
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 grinds fresh black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, minced (or 1 tsp dried, crushed)
- 12 teaspoon sugar
Directions
-
1Carefully strip husks and cornsilk from ears, discarding silk but keeping the husks as intact as possible.
-
2Rinse and put between 2 layers of paper towels to dry, pressing flat with a weight (heavy cookbook, iron pot, your husband's 9 remote controls:):) Meanwhile, put the nekkid ears in a pot of boiling water and boil for about 10-15 minutes.
-
3Drain and cool until easily handled.
-
4Mix all seasonings with the melted butter.
-
5(You can really add anything---I think mixed Italian herbs would be nice, or even a dash of curry to go with an Indian meal.
-
6Or heavy on the Cajun spices and more Tabasco for the stouthearted.
-
7).
-
8Okay, here's the fun part (La D does so adore a craft activity.)
-
9Carefully wrap the ears back in the husks, and bind the covering with thin strips of the husk, tamale-style, tying securely.
-
10Place on tinfoil that has been pinched at the corners to form a basin, and pour the butter, etc., over all everything.
-
11Wrap in more foil to seal tightly, and place on the grill while any meats are cooking.
-
12When meats are done, remove the foil and let the corn grill on the rack above the hot coals.
-
13The extra butter will drip down and cause a little conflagration, which will set the husks on fire (fun to watch!)
-
14and char the corn slightly.
-
15Remove almost instantly, get rid of the burned husks, grab the salt shaker, and enter Paradise!
