What better says Summer than delicious fresh corn on the cob, straight off the grill? Or better yet, what says Fourth of July? This is, without a doubt, the most delicious grilled corn that I have ever tasted and its absolutely perfect for your backyard barbecue next week!
What sets this grilled corn apart from the rest is the slightly spicy, slightly tangy, creamy crema thats drizzled on top. Trust me when I say youre going to love this sauce. I was mopping up some roasted chicken with it as well! Its heavenly.
Serve this corn hot, with lots of crema and tons of napkins because youll need them!
The adobo sauce I refer to is simply the sauce thats present in the cans of chipotle peppers, found in the ethnic food section of most large supermarkets. Freeze extra sauce and peppers in Ziploc bags for easy access later in the summer!
Grilled Corn with Poblano Lime Crema
Add zest to your grilled corn with this fresh poblano lime crema. See what sets this recipe apart from other grilled corn in a full post from Jenna Weber on the Fresh Tastes blog.
- ½ cup sour cream
- juice of ½ lime
- 1 ½ tsp adobo sauce {from a can of poblano chilies in adobo sauce}
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 4 ears of fresh sweet corn, shucked
- 1 tbsp garlic olive oil, or regular olive oil, or butter
- cilantro for serving
Ingredients
- Heat your grill up outside. You want the temperature to be around 400 degrees for these.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lime juice, adobo sauce and sea salt. Set aside.
- Rub the ears of corn with the garlic oil. Grill for about six minutes, until golden and toasty.
- When the corn is done, remove from the grill and drizzle the crema over the ears. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve with additional crema on the side (and lots of napkins!).
