Ingredients
-
5 -6 ears corn, in husks
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
cold water
1 cup milk
parmesan cheese (in a cheese shaker) (optional)
kitchen string, to tie the corn (use only cotton string)
Preparation
-
Carefully peel back the husks for the corn to within 1-inch of the bottom; remove the silk and discard silk.
In a bowl combine soft butter with fresh parsley, salt and black pepper; spread over the corn (I use my hands for this).
Rewrap corn in the husks.
Tie with a heavy string in two places (near top and bottom, do not use nylon string!).
Place the corn in a very large bowl; cover with cold water then mix in 1 cup milk into the water (make certain to soak the corn with the string on).
Soak the corn in the water/milk mixture for about 30 minutes or a little more (no less than 30 minutes!).
Grill the corn covered on the grill over medium heat, and cook for 22-30 minutes or until tender, TURNING OFTEN.
Serve with more butter, salt and freshly grated Parmesan cheese (I use a cheese shaker to shake the cheese onto the corn at the table while eating).
DELICIOUS!
