Method
- 1Preheat a cast-iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until smoking hot, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- 2Shuck the corn and remove the silk. Brush the ears lightly with 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil to help charring.
- 3Place the corn directly on the hot skillet and char for 10 to 12 minutes, turning frequently, until kernels are blackened in spots and evenly charred.
- 4Remove the corn from the heat and let cool 5 minutes until safe to handle. Stand each ear upright on a cutting board and slice the kernels off with a sharp knife.
