Fire Roasted Corn

makes 1 serving

Ingredients:

• Fresh corn on the cob, still in its husk
• Dishpan with cold water
• Vegetable oil

Optional toppings:

• Butter
• Garlic butter
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Cajun seasoning
• Your favorite spice or seasoning mix

Instructions:

1. Get corn on the cob as fresh as possible (we suggest from your own garden, a roadside stand, a farmers market, or find out when your grocery store gets fresh produce)
2. Soak the corn, still in its husk, in cold water for at least 1 hour; 3 to 4 hours is even better
3. Just before you’re ready to roast the corn, add a little vegetable oil to the soaking water so that it lightly coats the corn as you remove it
4. Place the corn in the fire embers or on a grate over the embers or medium coals
5. Turn occasionally and roast until the corn is tender, about 15 to 25 minutes
6. Carefully pull husks off the corn (we recommend using old oven mitts so you don’t burn yourself)
7. Try the corn plain your first time – roasting it gives it a unique flavor which many people find delicious; or use your favorite seasoning
