Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- coconut oil
- 1 cup coconut yogurt
- 1 clove garlic minced
- salt to taste
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 2 limes
- 1 cup fat-free feta cheese or cotija cheese if you want
Instructions
- Shuck the corn and place in a container big enough to submerge and cover with water. Use a plate or something to weigh down the corn so they stay submerged. Let sit for at least 30min.
- In a bowl, mix the coconut yogurt, garlic, salt, chili powder, cilantro, and juice of one lime.
- Crumble the cheese and place on a plate.
- Once the corn cobs have sat under water for 30 minutes, remove and dry off and rub with a light coating of coconut oil.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes per side directly under the broiler. Turn a quarter turn every 3-5 minutes trying to achieve a nice brown all over the cob. A few burnt kernels here and there are just fine! You can also cook on an outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
- Let the corn cool for 5-10 minutes so you can handle them without burning yourself.
- Slather the yogurt mixture evenly over all of the ears of corn.
- Roll the ears of slathered corn in the cheese crumble then sprinkle on some more chili powder and serve with a wedge of lime.
- I also like to serve the corn off the cob and plated so I just use a knife to cut the kernels off of the cob and toss everything in a bowl before serving.
