Grilled Corn With Feta Cheese Recipes

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH GARLIC WHIP, DILL AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium. Remove the corn from the soaking water, shake it dry a few times and place on the grill. Grill, covered, until the kernels are tender, turning a few times, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the garlic, lemon juice and salt in a blender and blend until smooth (add a splash of water if necessary). With the motor running, slowly add the canola oil and the olive oil. Blend until the mixture is emulsified and thickened; then continue blending until a thick, buttery consistency is reached.
• Remove the corn from the grill; pull back the husks, brush with the garlic whip, and sprinkle with feta and dill. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CORN WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• Rub the corn with olive oil and season with seasoning salt, to taste. Grill the corn until it's charred, on all sides, rotating for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, chili powder, cayenne, lime juice and salt and pepper, to taste, together in a small bowl. Remove the corn from the grill and brush the hot corn with the mayonnaise mixture. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with the feta cheese. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

GRILLED CORN WITH JALAPEñO-FETA BUTTER

Steps:

• To prepare the jalapeño-feta butter, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, jalapeño, feta, cilantro, garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt and coriander.
• Divide the butter equally onto six pieces of parchment paper large enough to wrap them snugly (6-inch squares should do it), form into logs, and wrap well, twisting the ends like candy wrappers. Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days before using, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush corn lightly with oil. Grill until charred on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes total.
• Transfer corn to plates, and serve each ear with a log of jalapeño-feta butter for rubbing onto the ear.

GRILLED CORN AND AVOCADO SALAD WITH FETA DRESSING

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Brush corn, scallions and jalapeño with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until corn kernels are browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes, and the scallions and jalapeño are charred all over and tender, 9 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• In a medium bowl, using a whisk, mash the feta into a coarse paste. Whisk in buttermilk, lemon zest and juice and garlic, then stir in chives and parsley. Finely chop the charred jalapeño and stir it into the feta dressing; season with salt and pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss lettuce with half the feta dressing and arrange on a platter. Cut corn kernels off the cob and slice scallions into bite-size pieces. Arrange avocado slices, corn and scallions on top of the lettuce. Serve with remaining dressing.
