Notes
- How to Blister Corn
- Blistering corn for this is a simple technique that can be done in a number of ways but should definitely not be skipped! Adding enough heat to slightly char the corn enhances the natural sweetness while adding a smoky, deep flavor that takes this dish over the top. Here are a few ways you can easily blister your corn for the perfect smoky char:
- On the grill. Preheat the grill and lightly brush the corn with olive oil. Place the corn directing on the grill grates and allow it to cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally so each side is evenly charred.
- With a kitchen torch. Place the corn cobs on a heat-resistant surface and hold the torch 3-4 inches away. Move the flame back and forth down the cob, turning it as it chars so that each side is even. Take care to move the torch quickly enough so that the corn doesn't burn.
- Under the broiler. Turn your oven broiler to high and lightly brush the corn with olive oil. Place foil on a baking sheet and top with the shucked corn cobs. Place the sheet under the broiler and watch closely, turning the corn every 2-3 minutes so that each side gets evenly blistered.
- On the stove. To blister your corn on the stove, heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the corn with olive oil and place on the skillet. Gently turn the corn every 2-3 minutes so that each side is evenly charred and blistered.
