Double Star Chain

While we lived in the UK we had fresh vegetables delivered to our door once a week. With each delivery came recipes to help us use our produce. These came in very handy, especially since we were unfamiliar with several of the things that arrived on our doorstep. We were pleased to find a similar service available in our US neighborhood. Here is one of the recipes that came last month:

Spicy Grilled Corn

3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup butter
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon cumin
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
Juice from 1 lime
1 tablespoon hot sauce (We like Cholula.)
4 ears fresh corn, husks removed

Lightly oil and heat outdoor grill. Warm (but don't simmer) butter and garlic. Stir in sugar, salt, cumin, pepper, lime juice and hot sauce. Place corn on hot grill and brush with seasoned butter. Turn and brush until corn is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.
