Recipe for Fresh Sloughhouse Corn
While Sloughhouse Sweet Corn is delicious after a quick cook in boiling water with nothing but butter and salt, you can crank up the delicious factor by making elote, or Mexican grilled street corn. A simple elote recipe follows:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Cotija or feta cheese, finely crumbled
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Mexican crema or sour cream
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon chile powder (ancho or guajillo)
- 1 finely minced medium garlic clove – equal to roughly a teaspoon
- 4 ears of shucked corn on the cob
- Lime wedges
Directions
- Get a charcoal or gas grill hot – clean and oil the grate.
- While the grill is heating, mix together in a large bowl the mayonnaise, cheese, crema/sour cream, chile powder, cilantro, and minced garlic.
Once the grill is ready, place the ears of corn directly on the hot parts of the grate. Rotate occasionally while cooking. Grill for about 8 minutes, until the kernels are thoroughly cooked and there are charred areas on all sides.
Transfer the hot corn to the bowl containing the mayo/cheese mixture. Use a spoon to evenly coat all sides of the corn with the mixture. Sprinkle with extra chile powder and cheese and serve immediately with a lime wedge.
