Grilled Corn

Corn on the grill is delicious and apparently pretty easy.  I just tried for the first time tonight with dinner, and it turned out great!

Grilled Corn

Corn on the cob, in husks

Water

Remove silks from each ear of corn, but keep husks attached to the cob.  Fold husk back over corn, and soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning on the grill.  Place ears of corn along outer edges of grill while you cook the rest of your dinner over the fiery center of the grill.  Cook for 5-10 minutes on each side -- husks will brown and/or scorch slightly, but the corn on the inside will stay moist with a great concentrated smokey, corny flavor.

I did not put anything on my corn, but it could be great with some butter and cumin or chili powder.  It was easy and delicious.  I served it with grilled sausages, zucchini, and onions -- for the vegetarians, instead of sausages, you could bulk up the veggies by adding some eggplant, peppers, mushrooms, and other easy grillables.  Yum!
