Recipe - Stuffed And Grilled Corn Husks

4 lg Fresh ears corn
3 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
1 Garlic clove, minced
One half Jalapeno, finely chopped
One half teaspoon Ground cumin
One fourth teaspoon Cayenne
One half cup Olive oil
2 lg Red potatoes, boiled, peeled
and minced
1 cup Canned black beans, rinsed
and drained
One half Red bell pepper, minced
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
One half cup Packed cilantro leaves
1 cup Grated monterey jack cheese,
optional

Carefully remove the husks of each ear of corn, taking care not to rip the
widest husks. Select the 24 widest husks and set aside, covered with damp
paper towels. Cut 2 of the remaining husks into 8 long strips and reserve,
covered with damp paper towels. Cut the corn kernels from each cob and
reserve.

In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice, garlic, jalapeno, cumin and
cayenne. Slowly add 6 tablespoons olive oil in a stream, whisking
constantly. Add the corn, potatoes, black beans, red bell pepper and season
with salt and pepper, tossing to combine and coat with the dressing. Taste
and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add the cilantro leaves, stirring to
combine.

Place 2 corn husks, concave side up, on a work surface, overlapping them at
the wider ends by 2 inches. Center a third husk on top to the first two
husks. Arrange about a One half cup of the vegetable mixture in the center of
the husks. Fold the sides of the corn husks up and over the filling to
cover it completely. Tie at either end with a corn husk strip to secure the
filling, forming a cigarshaped packet. Make more packets in the same
manner with the remaining ingredients. Packets can be made up to 4 hours in
advance.

Preheat grill or grill pan.

Brush the packets with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and grill each
packet for 6 minutes per side, covered. If desired, cut each packet open
and sprinkle grated cheese over vegetables. Return packets to grill or
broil until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Yield: 4 servings
