Equipment

  • Grill
  • Boiling Pot
  • Basting Brush

Ingredients
  

  • 5 ears of sweet corn
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup Pecorino Romano Cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoon parsley fresh
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil corn in a boiling pot for about 10 minutes or until the corn begins to become soft.
  • While the corn is boiling, melt the butter over low heat on the stove. Add in the crushed garlic and cook until garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Once both the corn and garlic butter are done, take both out to the grill and place the corn on the grill on medium heat.
  • Baste the corn with the butter garlic until all is covered. You will repeat this process throughout the grilling because this helps get that char on the corn.
  • Once the corn is charred, remove from the grill and spread mayonnaise on all of the ears.
  • Sprinkle the Pecorino Romano over the corn to cover it.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

You can save the ears of corn without the mayo and cheese on them in the fridge for up to 2 days wrapped in tinfoil.
