Ingredients

Preparation

• Grilled corn on the cob are extremely good with dips and sauces or just straight of the grill with a little butter, salt and pepper. Which ever way you prefer to eat your grilled corn on the cob it's easy as long as you grill it properly

• Remove the top layers of husk from your corn leave just one or two for protection and place the ears of corn in the cold water for 20 minutes. This will help to keep your grilled corn on the cob moist when grilled and stop them drying out.

• Prepare your grill for cooking by setting to medium heat and brush the grill with a little oil to stop the grilled corn on the cob from sticking. Remove the corn from the water and shake well to remove any excess water them. Depending on your tastes either remove the husks or keep the corn covered, I prefer to brown of the actual corn myself but it's your choice. Brush the ears of corn liberally with the olive oil and add the mixed spices to the corn. Wrap the corn in foil or just use the husks and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the corn regularly to avoid any burning.

• Soak the whole cobs in a pot of cold water for 15 minutes. Be sure the ears are completely covered with water. This will provide extra moisture for cooking and will steam the corn kernels inside the husks. While the corn is soaking, preheat the grill to a medium temperature. After soaking, remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess water.

• When the grilled corn on the cob is done remove from the heat and open the foil, add the butter, salt and pepper to taste and enjoy a really healthy tasty meal.
