Corn is in Season!

Corn is available everywhere right now: co-workers giving it away, trucks on the side of the road selling it for next to nothing, crates piled high at the local produce stand. 

Well, this is officially my new favorite way fix it. Delicious!
 


 Shuck and wash the corn placing each ear in the center of a square of tin foil. 


Squeeze a section of lime over the top.


Top with pat of butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper and cotijas (or feta) cheese*. 


 Roll the foil over the corn and cook on the grill. About 5 minutes. 


 Served here with salmon and couscous.

Cheater method:
(equally delicious)

Prepare corn: shuck, rinse and cook
Saute garlic in butter (one clove/pat per ear of corn), pour over corn
Squeeze sections of lime over corn
Top with salt, pepper and cotijas cheese.

*Note about grilling corn in foil: the cheese tends to stick to the foil.
There are two simple solutions to this problem:
1. top corn with cheese after it has been grilled and removed from foil.
2. scrape cheese off of foil and place onto corn (this solution allows all the flavors to mingle together during the cooking process).
