CHILI AND CUMIN BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Combine butter and next 5 ingredients (through red pepper) in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pull husks back from corn; remove silks from corn.
• Place them on the grill. Brush butter mixture evenly over corn. Grill until nice grill marks appear on the cobs, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Serve with lime wedges.
• Note: Corn on the cob is best husked just before it goes on the grill. Cobs are like bananas -- they loose their freshness once the husk has been pulled back. When buying corn, do not even peek -- just run your fingers down the cobs to make sure that they are uniformed -- check there are no worm holes. Basically, you want to grill the corn enough to get nice grill marks -- anything more will dry out the cobs. Once they are cooked, take them off the grill and let them sit for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on how dense the cobs are. This way, they won't burn the mouth.
