Grilled Corn, With The Husk


Let's face it, the husk of an ear of corn is at most, an inconvenience to most of us who like this delicious vegetable.  Cookbook author Molly Katzen says that need not be the case.  She told Tonia's Kitchen the husk can play an important role in sealing the flavor of the corn when it's on the grill!  Molly says, when it
comes to grilling corn, there's really no rules; it's all a matter of how much smokey flavor you want the ear to be infused with. If you're grilling the corn her way, pull back the husk, but don't tear it off, brush the corn with a mixture of lime juice and chili mayonnaise and grill it!  The husk preserves the flavor, and keeps it tender.
