Street Fairs! – One of my absolute FAVORITE things about living in New York City. Almost every weekend, we are walking somewhere and accidentally stumble into a Street Fair – all the delicious smells & unique gifts and interesting foods on offer always amaze us and we have to try everything – naturally! One of the first things I tried and LOVED was grilled corn, lightly brushed with mayo and sprinkled with parmesan & paprika or a spicier mix of spices if we were feeling daring! – It has this satisfyingly chewy texture and it seems to bring out the sweeter side of the corn. Let us know how you find it!!
- 4 Corn on the cob - Stripped of all leaves
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese (Approx.)
- 4 tbsp of mayo
- 2 tbsp Paprika
- Preheat & season your griddle or grill with oil
- Once it begins smoking add your corn on the cob - grilling corn takes longer than you think - between 10-15 minutes, but you must watch it and keep turning with tongs so that one area is not charred while the other is sitting uncooked.
- Once it has even char marks and has turned slightly translucent and dark yellow its ready for the next step!
- Take your corn off the griddle or grill & brush lightly with mayo (you can use butter but it will affect the taste slightly from the street fair taste!)
- Sprinkle heavily with parmesan & lightly with paprika
- Serve as a side dish on grill night or with Salad for lunch!
