ROAST SWEET CORN

 

Soak the corn in salted water for 15 minutes or up to 12 hours with ice in the water.

Roast on a hot grill, turning frequently, and rotating through any hot spots.

After 10-150 minutes the husks should be totally brown to fully blackened.

Pile up the corn on a plate, still in the husks, for 5 minutes to complete the steaming.

Pull back the husks in two chunks, wrap the clean inner leaves around the stem end.

Roll in butter and salt to taste.

The very best kernels are slightly browned, caramelized and smoky.


Variation: Strip back the husks and remove the silks; wrap each ear a in paper towel soaked in dark beer.  Pull back up the husks and cover with foil tightly; roast as above.
