Grilled Sweet Corn with Coconut Glaze
Adapted from Kris Yenbamroong at Night + Market
This is a Thai twist to grilled corn. The coconut milk with the coconut sugar adds a layer of tropical sweetness, and the turmeric adds its zappy brightness to keep the flavors interesting.
4-6 servings
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch each piece of corn for a minute or two. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar, salt, and turmeric. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Light a grill or heat a grill pan over medium heat. Brush the corn with some of the coconut glaze and grill, turning and basting occasionally, until slightly charred and crisp-tender, about 20 minutes. Brush the corn with more glaze and serve warm.
