I love a corn on the cob. Back in India I would always buy myself one whenever fresh juicy corns were in season and a "bhutta-wala," (as we refer to the street vendors selling corn) was in sight. here, my favorite way of cooking corn is to grill it on stove-top and then spice it up with chilly, lime juice and salt. my husband does not enjoy this stove-top grilled corn much so i usually cook it for lunch. but yesterday things did not work out as I had scheduled and i ended up roasting the corn in the evening. husband agreed to have some, may be because the recipe was Dorie's... and much to my amazement, he really liked it. yeah !!
Thanks to Dorie for sharing the recipe of the vegetable lady selling corn in Boulevard Raspail. Had it not been for her I would have never thought of roasting unhusked ears of corn in the oven and delighting over it hence. It is certainly a wonderful and easy way of cooking the corn. just put the whole corn with husk and all in a 400 degree F oven, roast it for 40 minutes, turning it once at 20 minutes mark, remove the husk, butter the corn, sprinkle salt and pepper and enjoy !
try this recipe while corns are still in season and be prepared to be impressed ! happy Friday !

ReplyDeleteOh yes Chitz !
DeleteWow! I grew up in the province back home and I remember my father would plant corns and yes we look forward to harvest them and we roast them..only we use charcoal. Oh, my mind is travelling down the memory lane.Perhaps I need to try this one too.Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeletethe smoky flavor has its own charm. I prefer that to oven roasted corn. but roasting it this way is definitely easy.
DeleteBeautiful photo! Glad you enjoyed :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful click dear !!
ReplyDeleteThanks Manjula !
DeleteI was also surprised at how tasty corn cooked this way is.
ReplyDeleteGlad this was enjoyed by your husband. I thought the corn was perfectly cooked….it was enjoyed in my house, too!
ReplyDeleteThis tasted good, but I like the more instant gratification of microwaving. The street corn in India sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteGlad you and husband enjoyed this one. It was just okay for me. And kuddos for that beautiful photo! I have trouble making mine look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteGlad your husband enjoyed the corn. My family like it also. Hope you have a great weekend:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo! Great recipe -
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you discovered a method of cooking corn that pleased everyone!
ReplyDeleteI do like the sound of using chilli, lime and salt with the corn. Glad hubby liked Dorie's take on corn.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I prefer my corn-on-the-cob better when it is cooked in boiling sugar water or on the grill, I love the idea of spicing it up with chili, lime and salt. That sounds like something I will try. Glad you found a way to cook the corn that your hubby enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYour Boulevard Raspail Corn on the Cob looks just perfect - I am happy that you enjoyed this recipe - it was a nice and new way to prepare corn for me as well! Very nice photography!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week!
Love your idea of chili, lime juice and salt ! Yes, this was a new technique for us also and we loved it. No more boiled corn for my family :) Next I will try grilling.........
