Ingredients
Serves 4 to 6
• 5 to 6 ears fresh sweet corn in the husk
• Crumbled feta cheese
• Thinly sliced scallions
• Chopped cilantro
• Chipotle chili powder
Ingredients for lime aioli:
• 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• zest of 1/2 lime
• 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
• 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
• 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
1. For the lime aioli - blend all ingredients together with a whisk in a small bowl. Chill.
2. Cook the corn -- still in the husk -- by roasting in the oven, boiling in salted water or grilling. Cooking the corn in the husk makes removing the silk and husk much easier.
2. While still warm but cool enough to handle, cut the corn kernels from the cob and place in a large bowl.
3. Toss with the lime aioli and garnish with feta cheese, scallions and chopped cilantro, then dust with chipotle powder.
