Precooked corn grilled with a piquant barbecue sauce (enough for a dozen cobs) is delicious.

Ingredients

  • Husked, steamed or boiled corn cobs
  • Peanut or vegetable oil
  • Ancho Chili Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  ancho chili powder or other ground hot peppers
  • 1-1/2 tbsp  (22 mL)  peanut or vegetable oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
  • 1/2 tsp  (2 mL)  ground cumin
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  packed dark brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  dark soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp  (30 mL)  ketchup
  • 1-1/2 tbsp  (22 mL)  cider vinegar

Preparation

Ancho Chili Sauce: Mix together chili powder and 3 tbsp (45 mL) water into paste. Let stand for 10 minutes. In small saucepan, heat chili paste, oil, garlic and cumin until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar and 1/3 cup (75 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer on low until very thick, about 10 minutes. Let cool.

Makes about 1/2 cup (125 mL).

Lightly brush corn with oil; grill over medium-high heat until lightly charred and heated through. Brush all over with sauce. Grill, turning, for 1 minute.
