Grilling Recipes on Food Friday: Cilantro Grilled Corn

credit

This time of year everyone is spending more time outdoors, and it stays light later, and we just naturally are looking for easy grilling recipes so we can grill and eat outside.  Here is a recipe we found last summer, which is excellent in flavor, and uses the fresh cilantro from your garden. If you don't have any yet, you can buy it, too.  Today is our anniversary, and I posted an update, so please read that on "What's going on in my life.")


Recipe For Cilantro Grilled Corn
Serves: This will depend on the number of ears of corn you grill.  I'll give you the recipe for 2 ears and you will have to multiply that by the number of people you're intending to serve.
Ingredients:

• 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
• 2 tsp finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Butter-flavored cooking spray
• 2 ears corn, husked

Directions:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill.  In small bowl, mix garlic, cilantro and salt.
• Cut two 12-inch square pieces of heavy-duty foil.  Spray each ear of corn generously with cooking spray.  Spread garlic mixture over each ear of corn. (Using your fingers is the easiest.) Wrap each ear of corn in foil piece, sealing edges.  Allow space for circulation and expansion.
• Cover and grill corn over medium heat 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender.
