Broiler-Grilled Corn
"From Pithy and Cleaver. The vivid flavors work well, even with supermarket corn, and the broiler means you can make it even in an apartment kitchen."

- Yields:
-
6 ears
- Serves:
- 3
ingredients
- 1 dried chipotle pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (6 ounce) container Greek yogurt
- 6 ears corn
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1⁄4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or more)
- 6 lime wedges
directions
- Crush chipotle in mortar and pestle, or grind in a spice grinder. Add chipotle, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, sugar and salt to yogurt and stir really well. Taste for seasoning; each ear only gets a thin coat, so if you want it hot, add more cayenne.
- Strip corn of husks and silk. Arrange on broiler tray in a single layer. Brush all sides with butter and broil 5 minutes. Turn over and broil another 5 minutes. Brush all sides with butter again. Continue cooking and turning often until corn is golden and a few kernels are charred.
- Transfer corn to a platter. Smear each ear with about 2 tbsp of yogurt mixture, spreading evenly. Sprinkle all over with parmesan and squeeze lime wedges over. Eat hot.

Super! I was looking for a broiled corn recipe and this is even better. I used a slightly different spice mix, plain yogurt without the liquid on top, and pepperjack instead of parmesean.

I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
