Elevate Your Grilled Corn with a Burst of Flavor
When it comes to grilling corn, the right seasoning can make all the difference. Introducing a unique blend that will take your corn game to the next level: Sun-Dried Tomato and Thyme Flavored Salt.
The Perfect Combination
This flavorful salt combines the savory goodness of sun-dried tomatoes, the spicy kick of Tabasco Sauce, and the aromatic essence of thyme. The result is a seasoning that adds depth and excitement to your grilled corn. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile – try it on fish or eggs for a delicious twist.
Getting Started
To make this flavorful salt, you’ll need just a few ingredients:
- 1/2 ounce dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme, chopped
- 1/2 cup kosher salt (about 2 1/2 ounces)
- Sweet corn, cooked as desired and left on the cob
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
The Process
Begin by preheating your oven to 250°F. Arrange a rack in the middle and get ready to transform your sun-dried tomatoes.
Drying the Tomatoes
Thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes and place them in a small bowl. Drizzle with Tabasco Sauce and toss to combine. Spread the tomatoes on a baking sheet, leaving at least a 1/2-inch space between each slice. Bake for 30 minutes, or until they’re darkened in color and the surface feels dry to the touch.
Grinding and Mixing
Let the tomatoes cool completely before transferring them to a coffee or spice grinder. Pulse into small, flaky bits no larger than a sesame seed – about 8 to 10 pulses. Add the chopped thyme and pulse once or twice to combine. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl, scraping out any bits stuck in the grinder.
The Finishing Touches
Add the kosher salt to the bowl and whisk to combine. Store your new flavored salt in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months.
Time to Shine
To serve, roll your corn cobs in olive oil and sprinkle with the Sun-Dried Tomato and Thyme Flavored Salt. Get ready for a flavor explosion that will elevate your grilled corn to new heights!
