Chili and Cumin Buttered Corn on the Cob
- 1 12 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon ground cumin
- 14 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 18 teaspoon ground red pepper
- 6 ears corn, with husks
- lime wedge
- Prepare grill.
- Combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.
- Pull husks back from corn; remove silks from corn.
- Place them on the grill.
- Brush butter mixture evenly over corn.
- Grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
- Serve with lime wedges.
- Note: Corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill.
- Cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back.
- When buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes.
- Basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs.
- Once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are.
- This way, they won't burn the mouth.
