Not many chefs know the grill better than Bobby Flay, and this grilled corn recipe is a winner! This grilled corn is great on its own, but we’ve also included two fun butter recipes if you want to take your corn to the next level
INGREDIENTS
4-8 ears corn
Kosher salt
BBQ Butter and Herb Butter, recipes follow
DIRECTIONS
Heat the grill to medium. Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes. Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter (optional) Spread over the corn while hot.
BBQ Butter:
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly. Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Herb Butter:
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives or tarragon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Combine in a food processor and process until smooth
A classic American dish that one can’t easily find
in restaurants is stuffed bell peppers. It’s essentially meat stuffed into bell
peppers and baked in the oven. This
recipe can easily be doubled or tripled with 4 or 6 peppers.
INGREDIENTS
2 bell peppers, any color
Salt
2-3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
½ medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1 clove of garlic, peeled and chopped
½ lb. of lean ground beef
¾ cup of cooked rice
¾ cup chopped plum tomatoes, fresh or canned (liquid drained)
½ tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
Fresh ground pepper
¼ cup ketchup
¼ tsp. of Worcestershire Sauce
Dash of Tabasco sauce
DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut top off peppers 1 inch from the stem end, and remove seeds. Add several generous pinches of salt to boiling water, then add peppers and boil, using a spoon to keep peppers completely submerged, until brilliant green (or red if red peppers) and their flesh slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain, set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Heat 2 tbsp. of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a minute more. Remove skillet from heat, add meat, rice, tomatoes, and oregano, and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well. (You may find it easier to put the ingredients at this point into a large bowl and mix together with your hands.)
Drizzle remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil inside the peppers. Arrange the cut side of the peppers up in a baking dish, then stuff peppers with filling. Combine ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and 1/8 cup of water in a small bowl, then spoon over filling. Add 1/8 cup of water to the baking dish. Place in oven and bake for 40-50 minutes (or longer, depending on how big the peppers are that you are stuffing), until the internal temperature of the stuffed peppers is 150-160°F.

Remove tomatoes and plunge into cold water. Peel and dice tomatoes and set aside. Heat olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add garlic and crushed red pepper. Sauté until garlic turns slightly golden. Add chopped onion and sauté an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Add chopped plum tomatoes and cook approximately 5 minutes. Add salt to taste. Add chopped parsley and/or basil and extra virgin olive oil if desired, just before using.
