Grilled Corn on the Cob

Grilled Corn of the Cob

One of my favorite Boston restaurants is Toro, Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer’s delicious Spanish-style tapas. One of the highlights on their menu is the grilled corn on the cob. It’s messy, delicious and worth a try at home. This dish is considered popular street food in Mexico. If you cannot find the cotija cheese, you can substitute feta cheese.

  • 4 ears of corn in the husk
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne (if you like it spicy, add more)
  • 3/4 cup shredded cotija cheese (or feta cheese)
  • Lime wedges

Prepare the grill. Soak the corn in the husks in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain the corn and grill on a rack set 5-6 inches about the glowing coals until husks are charred, about 10 minutes. I have a gas grill and it worked just as well.

Shuck the corn and grill for another 10 minutes until the kernels are browned in spots. While corn is grilling, in a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and cayenne. Using the small holes on a four-sided grater, grate the cheese.

Brush mayonnaise mixture onto the hot corn and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve corn on the cob with lime wedges.

    Hi Pam, your timing could not have been better. I just had this corn at Millie’s in Nantucket and have been thinking about it all week. So glad I can now make it myself. Yum! Thanks.

    I hope your summer is going really well.

    Best, Sheryl
