Roasted Corn

July 5, 2007 | Filed Under Uncategorized 

 

In the months of June and July there are several birthdays in my family.  So we get together at my cousin’s nice,  big house to celebrate.   As usual, this year, many different foods were prepared but my favorite was an unplanned and simple one — roasted corn.  My cousin’s neighbor, who’s originally from India, decided that he wanted to prepare the corn the way they do it in the streets of his country.  He roasted the corn, then rubbed salt, red hot African pepper (normally he’d use Indian spices but none were available) and lime over the corn.  Delicious!  When I eat corn, it’s usually boiled and covered with butter, so the roasted corn was a treat for me.  My brother also grilled some chicken, which wasn’t bad at all.  Good eating was had by all.  ;-)

    This is just like Mexican “street corn”, the wonderful roasted corn you buy from street vendors all over Mexico. The combination of hot pepper and lime really is amazing!

    It’s ages since i had roasted corn, Paz. I prefer it plain, without any seasoning. Your post inspires me to get some asap.

    Hi Barbara: I’m sending you good thoughts and some of the hot weather from here. We have plenty to spare. ;-)

    Hi Kat: I’d love to taste the corn with the soy mixture. Yum!

    Hi Lydia: You just given me another type I’d love to taste. My list is growing!

    Hi Tanna: I think corn is one of the good things about summer.

    Hi Sra: I think that plain corn is also perfect. By now, I hope you were able to go get some and enjoy!

    Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
