Hey Amy!

Many of you have written asking about grilling corn on the cob with the question–to husk or not to husk?  Since Independence Day is right around the  corner and corn is popping up in our local markets, I thought it an excellent time to share how I make corn cobs on the grill.

Ingredients:

4 corn cobs, with husks
4 Tbsp. butter
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper

Peel back the husks (do not remove) and remove the silk.  Rub butter on corn on all sides, coating well.  Roll cob in garlic (I usually use more than 1 clove because I love garlic but occasionally my guests have said it’s too much!).  Fold the husks back around the kernels and secure them in place with string if needed.  Cook the cobs over medium hot heat for 30 minutes, turning frequently.  Serve with more garlic butter if you dare!

Many look at corn on the cob as a compliment to your main dish.  In my house, it is the main dish!  Enjoy.
