Bob Hart's Roasted Chilli Corn

Posted by: Bob Hart | 10 January, 2012 - 10:39 AM

When my summer barbecue classes wind up late on Saturday afternoons, we usually take a vote to decide on our favourite dish of the day. And there are always plenty of votes for this one - an unorthodox approach, based on the freshly roasted corn I first tasted outside a Mexican supermarket in Houston, but even better.

Have that chipotle mayo handy and grate (on a microplane grater, which keeps it very light) a generous slab of good Italian parmesan (ideally, Reggiano). Now, peel back the husks of as many cobs of corn as you plan to serve and leave them attached to the cob. If you have done it correctly, each will look like an adman's pony tail, and will make excellent handles for the corn. Remove and discard any silk from the cobs.

Still using a hot grill set for direct grilling, position the cobs - neither oiled nor seasoned on this occasion - on the grill, perpendicular to the grill bars, and with the husks protruding from the hood when you lower it. After a minute and a half raise the hood, turn the cobs through a quarter of a turn by twisting the ponytails, and lower the hood. Do this each minute for about 6-8 minutes, or until the cobs are golden and flecked with blackened kernels. Lift the cobs off the grill and on to a platter.

To serve the corn, brush each hot cob with the chipotle mayo and sprinkle with parmesan. And no, don’t think too hard about it before you have tasted it. Because you are about to be amazed…

Hi Bob,
You mention chipotle mayo
in some of your recipes but, search as I may, I can't find the recipe on the website.
