chipotle corn on the cob


Okay, summer is really kicking it into gear and hopefully, you are all making summer-time classics in the kitchen! 
Or, more likely, the kitchen is too hot so you are grilling it up outside in the shade!

This is a perfect summer-time meal!
Serve with some BBQ or alone, it's great!

Chipotle Corn on the Cob
Serves ?  However many you need!
3 ears of corn
4 chipotles in adobo (or how ever many you can stand....I like heat.)
1 stick butter, softened at room temperature
Salt and pepper to taste

Start by husking your corn:  hold the cob with your left hand and pull down the husks with your right.  Remove all husks and silks and snap off the end.  Set aside.


Put the chipotles into a small food processor and process until smooth.  Add cubes of the butter and process until smooth.


Take a sheet of foil and lay the corn on it.  Smear the chipotle butter all over the ear and season with salt and pepper.  Wrap up tightly and repeat with remaining ears.


Grill over medium heat for about 15 minutes.  Or you can throw them on a cookie sheet in the oven for about 20 minutes, on 425*.

Unwrap and enjoy!


See how the chipotle saturated the corn all the way down to the core?  Yum :)
