How to Make Grilled Corn On The Cob With A Cuban Twist
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Shuck the corn, removing the husks and silks. (Save the husks for a rustic presentation – optionally, rewrap the corn loosely in the husks after soaking).
- Soak the corn in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
- Remove corn from water and gently shake off excess water.
- In a food processor, combine softened butter, minced garlic, minced habanero pepper, and chopped chives. Process until smooth.
- Season the garlic butter with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the corn on the preheated grill. Close the lid and grill for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove corn from grill and brush generously with garlic butter.
- Sprinkle with cotija cheese.
- Squeeze lime juice over the corn.
- Garnish with additional chopped chives.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
