Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 medium Shallot
- 0.5 cups Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons White wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small Garlic clove
Instructions
Preheat your grill or oven to 450°F (230°C).
Shuck the corn and remove all silk. Brush each ear lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each of kosher salt and black pepper.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, until the corn is golden brown and charred in spots.
While the corn is roasting, finely mince the shallot and garlic. Stack the basil leaves, roll them tightly, and slice into thin ribbons (a chiffonade).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and shallot. Whisk until emulsified, then stir in the basil ribbons.
When the corn is fully roasted, transfer it to a serving platter. Drizzle the basil shallot vinaigrette generously over the warm corn.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil leaves if desired.
