Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 1 cup Unsweetened coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Crumbled feta or cotija cheese (optional)
Instructions
Husk the corn and remove all the silk. Rinse to ensure the ears are clean.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the corn and cook for 7–10 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut milk, crushed pineapple, salt, black pepper, and lime zest.
Bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking. Let the flavors meld for about 3–5 minutes.
Place the cooked corn on a serving platter and generously spoon the coconut and pineapple sauce over the warm ears of corn.
Garnish with chopped cilantro for a fresh, vibrant flavor. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta or cotija cheese for a savory finish.
