Grilled Corn on the Cob

 Hello. I always enjoy making this food when the weather is more on the warm side then cold. It is great because one can use the outdoor grill and have some fun! Also corn contains a bunch of nutrients and has been a staple in America for a long time! :)


2 ears of sweet corn
1/8 purple onion
fresh cilantro leaves
1/8 cup of grape seed oil
2 limes
2 Tbsp of vegan mayonnaise
a pot of water

1. In a pot of water place the two ears of sweet corn to soak. This will help the corn to cook as the water will sort of steam up, as well as not allow the corn to over cook.
2. Prepare the purple onion by discarding the skin and using about an 1/8 of it, finely chopped. The cilantro leaves are then to be removed from the stem, and made a chiffonade. The lime is then juiced with a fork into a mixing cup. The grape seed oil is added along with the onion and cilantro, then mixed. Set aside.
3. Take the ears of corn and grill them on medium heat for about 10 minutes on each side. Then remove the corn from the grill and let cool for few minutes, so they are able to be handled. Remove the husk and the stem from the corn. Return the corn to the grill to cook on each side for 5 minutes. Check to see that they are a desired doneness.
4. Remove them from the grill. Cut the ends off and section the corn about 2/12 inched wide. Place the corn on a plate and spread the vegan mayonnaise on the top. Spoon on the lime oil mixture over along the length of the corn. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and lime wedges! :)

 Thank you very much! :) Eric M. Rangel
