Pan-Grilled Corn With Chile

By vail28

Ingredients

• 6 ears of corn, shucked
• 1 tablespoon corn oil
• 1 jalaper haba chile, stemmed, seeded and minced, or teaspoon dried red chili flakes, or to taste
• Salt
• Fresh chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
• Lime wedges, optional.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Stand an ear of corn in a shallow bowl, stem-side down. With a knife, slice kernels off from top to bottom until all are removed. Continue with every ear.

2. Put a large skillet over high heat and add oil; a minute later, add corn and chilies. As corn cooks, shake pan to distribute it so that each kernel is deeply browned on at least one surface.

3. Remove skillet from heat, then add salt to taste. If you are serving immediately, stir in the cilantro and squeeze a little lime juice over top (pass more lime at the table). Or reserve corn for use in other recipes here.
