Corn on the Cob - Boiled
By: Chef floWer
Feb 8, 2008
We have been given some fresh corn by friends, since it was so fresh I didn't want any of the corn flavour to be removed so I boiled the corn. This dish is simple yet quick could be used as a side dish or plate filler.
SERVES 1
Ingredients
- 1 corn on the cob, remove husks
- water
Optional Topping
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional) or margarine (optional)
- salt, to taste (optional)
- ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
Directions
1
In a large pot, enough to hold the corn, fill it with water to cover the corn (the corn should float).2
On a medium heat allow the pot of water to boil. Once the water is boiled, add in the corn into the pot and cover. Cook for 10-15 minutes depending on how soft you want your corn.3
Drain water and remove corn on the cob. Be careful as cob will be extremely hot.4
Top the corn with preferred seasons, herbs and spices. I prefer salt, pepper and butter.5
Enjoy.

This is very simple but delicious nonetheless! This is similar to how I usually boil corn on the cob. I never thought to add black pepper to it even though I love it! I made this recipe for the Aussie/NZ Swap #16.

Perfect! I think this is a great recipe to explain how to boil corn on the cob for those who've never done it before. I love corn on the cob this way, very classic. I served mine with Smart Balance with Flaxseed Oil Spread and salt and pepper. Bf had his plain and enjoyed it also, although I didn't get any comments from him as he was totally distracted and busy with his computer game, heh. Thanks Chef floWer. I made this as a recipe-extra for my group in the Aussie/NZ Swap #15.

This is my most favourite corn except this time it hurt my tooth as it's wobbly!
