Grilled Backyard Lime Chipotle Corn on the Cob with Tofu Mayonnaise

Grilled corn is such a treat in season. Summer at its best. It is a healthy food and fun to eat. This can be a side dish for other summer barbeque dishes.   

Flavour: That slightly charred corn taste with the tart lime, hot chipotle pepper off set by the sweetness of the mayonnaise.

Benefits: Low calorie and high in good carbs. Gluten free and all the taste of dipping corn in mayonnaise with none of the guilt.

Yield: 4 cobs of corn

Total time: 30-45 minutes

Equipment: Grill or oven, bowls, cotton string, large pot

Ingredients:

4 cobs of corn with the husks on and silk off

1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice

Zest from 3 organic limes

1 teaspoon ground chipotle powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon tamari

Instructions:

Pull back the husks but leave them on and tie them with cotton strings. Soak in water for 30 minutes.

Grill corn on each side on a medium high heat setting on the grill for 10-15 minutes each side. Watch closely that the husks don’t burn. Pour sauce onto grilled corn and give each person a bowl to dip the corn into Tofu Mayonnaise.
