Instructions

Heat a grill or oven to 400F.

Prepare the sauce:

In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder and lemon juice. Taste and correct seasonings, including salt if needed. Set aside.

Grill the corn:

Place the husked corn directly onto grill or oven grates. Grill the corn for about 5 minutes, undisturbed, or until kernels begin to brown. Turn over and repeat. When all sides are browned, remove corn cobs.

Assemble Middle Eastern street corn:

Using a brush or a spoon, cover each ear of corn generously with the cream mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and minced cilantro. Serve immediately with lime or lemon wedges.

Notes

In the recipe, I specify to remove the husks for a browned, charred look and taste that is typical of street corn. However, for a silkier, smoother taste and texture, you may want to keep the husks on while grilling. In that case, just wet the corn to prevent the husks from burning.
