Grilled Corn on the Cob with Butter and Ketchup

Delicious side dish that will brighten up any main dish you have. You’ll love this grilled corn on the cob with butter and ketchup. Tasty with various flavor, not too bold, but just enough to satiate your appetite – to get you ready for your main dish. This version of grilled corn on the cob also makes such a good snack and healthy too!

For this grilled corn on the cob, you can use either the frozen corn cobettes or fresh corn with the husks. For the frozen one, you don’t need to thaw. You can just put it directly to the grill, coated with the butter-and-ketchup sauce mixture and grilled for about, at least, 10 minutes or until it is charred all over.

For the corn with the husks, start by soaking the corn in cold water at least 30 minutes to an hour. This is to add moisture, soften the husk and ensure that the husk would not be ‘burned’.  Then, you can basically grill the corn with the husks. However, you need to remove some of the husks and remove as much silks as you can. Then, coat the corn kernels with the butter-and-ketchup sauce, cover the husks back and grill it. Again, for grilling corn, grill at least for 10 minutes or until it is charred all over.

Tools I used:

• Stove-top grill – Non-stick stove-top grill for any kind of quick grilling, especially useful in wintertime as I do not feel like grilling outside in the cold. Evenly heated, easy cleaning, easy to flip/stir and very durable.

Tip: To pull the silk from the corn,it is easier if you use dry paper towel or clean kitchen cloth

Ingredient:

• 12 corn cobettes (or 6 whole corns on the cob) – cleaned
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter – melted
• 3 tablespoons ketchup
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper

Direction:

• In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, ketchup, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Pre-heat the stove-top grill (or outdoor grill) under medium-high heat.
• Coat each corn with the ketchup/butter mixture evenly using a brush.
• Grill corn until charred all over, turning occasionally, usually for about 10 minutes. You can brush some more ketchup/butter mixture in between.
• Enjoy!
