  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

Corn on the Cob

  • In a large pot heat 8 cups of water to a rolling boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Heat the grill and lightly oil the surface. Do not use too much oil. This is a very light coating. I usually apply it with a paper towel to keep the application light.
  • When the water is at a rolling boil, gently add the ears of corn making sure they are covered by the water. Once the water is at a rolling boil once again, set the timer for four minutes. Remove the corn and drain.
  • Place the drained corn on the grill. Turn every few minutes to achieve brown char marks on all sides of the grilled corn.
  • When the corn is charred evenly on all sides, brush with Rosemary Pesto and remove from the grill on to serving plates.

Rosemary Pesto

  • Toast the almonds.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and pulse several times. you may need to push down the sides with a spatula. Do not over process. Make sure the texture still shows the definition of the ingredients.
  • Spread the Pesto on the grilled corn and Enjoy!
