Most Excellent Summer Eats!
I went to the local farmers market last week. They had Ohio-grown sweet corn on the cob, 5 for $.99. That meant I HAD to buy at least 10 ears of corn. I didn't know what to do with it, but I'd make something!
It came to me tonite:
6 ears would be boiled (and ready for shucking, removal from the cob, and freezing...to be used at a later date).
The other 4 ears would get a special treatment: Seasoned and broiled!
Recipe for Broiled Garlic Pepper Corn
Ingredients
4 ears of freshly shucked corn
1 Ziploc(TM) bag - Gallon sized
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic & Herb seasoning (Tone's, Lowry's, or even Mrs. Dash!)
2 pinches Sea Salt (iodized, kosher, etc. are fine too), or to taste
Pam(TM) non-stick easy spray, aerosol can
Cookie Sheet/Bar Pan
Turn on Broiler to preheat.
In Ziploc(TM) bag, mix the dry seasonings (pepper, garlic/herb, and salt).
Rinse ears of corn in cold water and put into Ziploc(TM) bag.
Shake, rattle, and roll! Completely coat the ears with all the seasoning mixture.
Lightly spray cookie sheet with Pam(TM).
Place each ear on the cookie sheet, none touching each other.
Lightly spray the tops of the ears of corn.
Place cookie sheet in broiler for 5 minutes.
Check corn, turning every 4-5 minutes, making sure each side doesn't burn, but gets a broiled brown look to it.
Total Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Cooking Time: 20 minutes (give or take, depending on how "golden brown" you like your corn.
Remove corn from broiler, being careful because the entire thing is HOT!!!
Using a cutting board, Cleaver/Sharp-bladed knife, and Tongs, cut corn ears into thirds.
Wait a few minutes for ear-lettes to cool down and eat!
Suggestions:
The seasonings can be mixed around. Keep the freshly ground black pepper if you like the additional heat and kick.
Try other herbs/seasonings: sweet paprika, spicy curry, a small bit of poultry seasoning, fresh rosemary & thyme, sweet basil, 1 teaspoon of lemon/orange zest, even 1/2 teaspoon of freshly shaved cinnamon!
Get creative. And you don't have to leave the corn on the cob. Remove the corn from the cob and add the seasoning mixture. Mix thoroughly, and use as a side dish.

Have you ever grilled corn? Here's my favorite way - mix together some minced garlic with softened butter. Shuck outer husks of corn but leave a few layers on so corn is still covered. Fold back the husks and brush on butter mixture. Pull husks back around corn and tie with household string. Throw on covered grill for 10 minutes or so. Mmmmmmmmm!

Oh freakin yum. The husband just bought some corn from a local farm
