  • Author: Anna Franklin

Description

A finger-licking good way to enjoy corn off the cob.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 whole corn cobs
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the homemade BBQ sauce:

  • 1 15-oz can tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire
  • 2 tbsp liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt


Instructions

  1. Using a sharp knife, cut off the base and then the pointy end of the corn. Stand the corn upright then cut the corn into half then half again to make quarters.
  2. Place corn in a large bowl then toss with olive oil. Then sprinkle with the garlic powder, paprika, sat and pepper, tossing in between, to coat as evenly as possible.
  3. Place corn on the grill kernel side down. Cook for 8 minutes or until you get charred spots.
  4. Transfer corn back into the bowl and after, toss with butter.
  5. Pile onto plate, sprinkle with parsley then grab and eat like ribs.

For the homemade BBQ sauce:

  1. Whisk all ingredients together in a medium saucepan.
  2. Simmer. Cook over medium-high heat until the sauce reaches a simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer (uncovered) for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
