Grilled corn with butter and parmesan cheese

A side dish that is easy to prepare, absolutely exquisite, and which will complement your grilled meats wonderfully! For this reason :

1.  Brush your corn cobs with butter and sprinkle them with salt and pepper ;
2.  Brown them on your barbecue grill at medium temperature for about 20 minutes ;
3.  Close the cooking dome until the grains become soft, but remember to turn them over regularly during cooking ;
4. Once the ears are well toasted, add a knob of butter, parmesan and chives ;
5.  Remove from heat and serve !

Aluvy's tip : to enhance the flavour of the corn and vary the pleasures, prepare different cobs with your choice of lime juice, garlic powder, chilli, sweet paprika, feta, coriander, or a little chilli pepper. The possibilities are endless !
