  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Corn:
2tablespoons corn oil
3/4teaspoon chili powder
1/4teaspoon salt
4-- ears corn, husked
Piquant Sauce:
1/4cup vegan mayonnaise
3tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/4teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4teaspoon cayenne pepper
1clove garlic, peeled and pressed or finely chopped
4tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice, from about 1/2 lime

Instructions

  1. Heat the grill to medium-high.
  2. Prepare the corn: In a small bowl, whisk together the corn oil, chili powder, and salt. Rub the corn all over with the mixture. Wrap the corn in aluminum foil and grill it, turning often with tongs, for about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and finish grilling right on the grates, about 5 minutes. Or peel back the husks, remove the silk, season the corn, then pull the husks back over the kernels before grilling for a nice smoky flavor.
  3. Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a medium-size bowl, combine all the sauce ingredients. Slather the grilled corn with the mayonnaise mixture and serve at once.
