Ingredients
- 6 to 8 sweet corn husks removed, medium ears
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon Coriander
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoon lime juice or lemon juice
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ¼ cup cilantro finely diced, fresh
- lime for serving, or lemon wedges
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.
