Step 1: Steaming the Corn
To prepare the corn, peel off the husk and remove the silk hairs.
Set up a steamer. Fill with one inch of water and place over medium-high heat.
Once the water is simmering, place the corn into the steaming basket and set over top of the steamer. Cover with a lid and steam until done, about 10 minutes or so.
Note: The corn can also be grilled, if desired.
- 4 fresh corn on the cob
Step 2: Dressing the Corn
Once the corn has finished steaming and is tender, insert a wooden skewer through the core of each cob.
While still hot, use a pastry brush to coat each cob liberally with mayonnaise. Sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese and chili powder. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over top and serve immediately.
- 4 sturdy, wooden skewers
- 1 tsp chili powder (or to taste)
- 1/2 cup queso fresco (or feta cheese)
- 1 fresh lime
