"This is a great corn recipe to serve at your next BBQ. You do it in advance and just finish cooking just before serving. Great flavor and you will get a few OOHs from your guests"

- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
8
ingredients
- 10 ears corn, in their husks
- 1⁄2 cup cilantro, chopped (or parsley, cilantro is best)
- 2 medium red sweet peppers, seeded, finely chopped (or 1 red and 1 green)
- 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
- 6 large green onions, cleaned, finely chopped (white and green parts)
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- salt & pepper
directions
- Carefully peel back the husks from the corn and remove all the silk (be careful not to tear the husks).
- Remove the cob from the husks without tearing the husks.
- Discard 2 husks and soak the remaining 8 in water for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile cut the corn from the cobs, discard cobs.
- Mix together the peppers, cilantro onions and corn.
- Heat the butter in a skillet and saute the corn mixture for about 5 minutes. The corn should still be crunchy.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Take the husks from the water and dry the inside of the husk with a paper towel.
- Spoon about 1 cup of the mixture into each husk, fold the husk around the corn and tie (use a waxed cord, if possible) at the top and around the middle so the husk is securely around the corn mixture. (You can prepare the recipe to this point several hours ahead of time, keep at room temperature).
- Arrange the husks around the outer edge of the BBQ, cook until heated through approximately 10 minutes.
- Turn several times, mist with water to prevent burning (the husks will be slightly charred but not black).
- Remove cords and serve immediately.

Oh Bergy, what a wonderful way to prepare corn! It was fantastic! We prepared it a time back and I forgot to review it, I'm sorry. It looked so beautiful with rib-eye steaks but, I held out on the jalapeños. Instead, I used some crushed red pepper flakes and had the jalapeños on the side. Since we grill out all year round - I will have a lot of opportunities to serve it. Thanks for sharing, it was delicious, Diane :=) -
All I can say is, Oh My Goodness, that was wonderful! The only thing I could not do was get the corn mixture into the husk, so I put the mix in aluminum foil and wrapped is really good, then grilled. Marvey!! Thank you for the recipe.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
