Method
 

Corn on the Cob
  1. In a large pot heat 8 cups of water to a rolling boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Place the drained corn on the grill. Turn every few minutes to achieve brown char marks on all sides of the grilled corn.
  5. When the corn is charred evenly on all sides, brush with Rosemary Pesto and remove from the grill on to serving plates.
Rosemary Pesto
  1. Toast the almonds.
  2. 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.
  3. Spread the Pesto on the grilled corn and Enjoy!
