Grilled Corn on the Cob With Chipotle Crema
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ears corn, husks on and silks removed
- 2 canned chipotle chiles in adobo, stemmed
- 1 cup crumbled queso fresco or 1 cup feta cheese
- 2 limes, cut into wedges
- In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream, heavy cream and salt.
- Cover with plastic wrap and set out at room temperature for 3 hours.
- In a large stockpot filled with water, soak the ears of corn for 20 minutes.
- Remove the ears from the water, shake and tightly squeeze the husks against the kernels of corn to get rid of any excess water.
- In a food processor, combine 1/2 cup of the prepared cream mixture with the chipotle chiles and puree until smooth.
- Reserve the rest of the cream mixture for another use.
- Set aside.
- Turn a grill to high and close the lid.
- After 15 minutes, lower the heat to medium-high.
- Place the corn on the grill rack and grill for 5 minutes.
- Turn the corn over and grill for another 5 minutes.
- Remove the corn from the grill and set aside to rest for 5 more minutes.
- In the meantime, keep your grill on with the lid closed.
- Take the grilled ears of corn and pull back the husks, exposing the kernels but keeping the husks attached at the bottom.
- Increase the grill temperature to high and place a sheet of aluminum foil on one side of the grill.
- Place the pulled-back husks over the foil, allowing the exposed kernels to sit on the grill grates.
- (This is done so the husks don't burn before the corn can char.)
- Close the grill lid and allow the kernels to char so become dark and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Then turn the corn and char the other side.
- Remove the corn from the grill.
- Serve immediately alongside the chipotle crema, crumbled cheese and lime.
