Recipe: Fresh Corn with Lime and Chilies (Mexican)

Side Dishes - Vegetables
FRESH CORN WITH LIME AND CHILIES

"In Mexico, corn on the cob is seasoned with fresh lime juice and chili powder, instead of melted butter. Although I had my doubts about this dish, I was hooked after the first bite - this magical flavor combination enhanced the sweet flavor of the corn much better than butter!

The secret to perfectly cooked corn is not to boil it - a high heat toughens the proteins. You'll get much better results if you use a gentle heat instead. First, bring the water to a boil, then add your fresh, shucked corn. When the water returns to a boil, immediately turn off the heat and cover the pot for 15 minutes. If the corn is more than two days old, add 1/4 cup of white sugar to the cooking water. The sugar not only tenderizes the corn, but sweetens it."

1/2 teaspoon arbol chili powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large fresh ears of corn (can use 4 small ears of corn)
2 fresh limes

Grind arbol chili powder and salt in a coffee grinder. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add corn.

When water returns to a boil, immediately turn off heat and cover pot with lid for 15 minutes.

Remove corn from pot. Squeeze fresh lime juice over corn and season with chili powder.

Serving size: 1/2 large ear of corn; 1 small ear of corn
