Expert Tips!
- Grilling Corn – Husk the corn and remove all silk. Light brush with olive oil and place and a grill or skillet on high heat. Grill corn over direct heat about 10 minutes, rotating frequently, or until lightly charred on all sides, closing lid in between rotations.
- Charring Corn in Skillet – In a large skillet heat one tablespoon of olive oil, add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally. Cook until corn is charred about 5 minutes for canned and about 7 minutes for frozen.
- You may want to adjust the amount of salt you add to this depending on how you serve it. If you serve it with tortilla chips you will want less due to the fact the chips are salty. If you serve it over chicken, fish or pork then you might want a bit more.
