Corn Grilled in its Jacket
- 12 ears fresh corn, in the husk
- 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Cayenne pepper
- Lime wedges, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the corn, still in its husks, directly on the oven rack and roast for about 20 minutes until the corn is soft when you press on it.
- Take the corn out of the oven and let it cool a little until you can handle it, or until you're ready to serve.
- When you're ready to eat, place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot.
- Take a few paper towels and fold them several times to make a thick square.
- Blot a small amount of oil on the paper towel.
- Then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a nonstick grilling surface.
- When the grill or grill pan is hot, peel down the husks from the roasted corn and pull out the corn silk.
- Then tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to the knot like a handle.
- Char the corn on the grill or grill pan, turning, until the kernels are slightly blackened all around and start popping, about 6 minutes.
- Brush the corn with mayonnaise, and sprinkle with the Parmigiano and a little cayenne pepper so it's nicely coated.
- Serve with lime wedges.
