Talking olive oil corn!

Although I do agree with many of the things Ms. LoGuercio says in her column (especially the part about the plunger!) I think the one thing she has wrong is that olive oil doesn't taste good on corn (on the cob). It does! It needs a little help, though, but it does:

Skillet Corn on the Cob with Parmesan and Cilantro
fr: Epicurious Food Epicurious-dot-com

4 ears fresh corn

6 T. olive oil
1/3 cup freshly grated parm cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
1 T. fresh lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Cook corn in pot of boiling satled water until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Whisk 5 T. oil, cheese, garlic, lime juice, cumin and pepper sauce in medium bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat remaining 1 T. oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and suate until heated through, turning frequently, about 2 minutes. Brush corn with some parm mixture. Turn corn and bursh with more cheese misture. Cook until coating behins to color, about 3 minutes. Transfer corn to platter. Mix cilantro into any remaining Parm. misture and brush over corn.

Bon Appetit
