elotes preparados, Lebanese-style
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 5 servings
Ingredients
- 5 ears of corn (1.5kg shucked, from about 2kg in-husk)
- 1 teaspoon oil
- 2–3 tablespoons toum (30-45g)
- 3 tablespoons crumbled feta (35g)*
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (1g)
- 1 pinch dried mint (optional)
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chiffonade (2g)
- lime wedges (from about 1 lime)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or broiler. Very lightly coat the corn with oil. Grill it (using your broiler, a grill, or a gas flame) until it is golden brown and charred in spots (you’ll get fewer charred spots if you’re using an electric oven broiler, or if your broiler/grill isn’t super strong). Remove to a serving plate and pat the corn with paper towels to make sure there’s no excess oil.
- Spread some toum over the ears. Top with feta, followed by the chili powder, mint, and parsley, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
* To make this vegan or dairy free, simply omit the feta, or replace it with a crumbled vegan cheese.
