Ingredients

• 4 ears corn on the cob
• 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• cracked black pepper (to taste)
• salt (to taste)
• sugar (to taste)

Directions

1. 1

   Remove corn husk and silk.

2. 2

   place each cob on it's own sheet of aluminium foil.

3. 3

4. 4

   divide butter mixture equally among corn and smear liberally over cob.

5. 5

   sprinkle each cob with salt, fresh ground pepper and sugar to your liking.

6. 6

   (just a tiny pinch of sugar adds to the flavour of the corn and brings out the sweetness if the corn isn't one of the sweeter varieties).

7. 7

   wrap up each cob securly in the foil.

8. 8

   place on the bbq and grill for approximately 20 mins, turning occasionally (until corn kernels have slight give under pressure).

9. 9

   unwrap (carefull, they hold the heat for quite a long time) and enjoy!

    CHOOSE YOUR CORN CAREFULLY! I reccomend peaches and cream corn and if when you're husking the cork it is already a dark yellow colour, it's not the best choice for this recipe (as IngridH likely experienced). I am actually a corn merchandiser and I highly suggest taking the time to pull the husk back a bit in the store to make sure you're getting corn that's a pale yellow and white mix of small scale firm kernals -- so you know you're not getting old corn!
