Farm-fresh and bursting with flavor, our corn on the cob gets a little "kick" from hot sauce, garlic and seasonings.

Add a burst of spicy deliciousness to one of our summertime favorites, farm-fresh corn on the cob. Golden yellow, juicy and packed with mouth-watering flavor, this dish is a perfect addition to your weekend barbecue, served alongside our favorite Southern fried chicken, or dished up with meaty Cuban sandwiches.

PREP: 5 minutes
COOK: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

6 to 8 ears of corn, shucked
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon hot sauce
3 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic

DIRECTIONS

Cut each shucked ear of corn into 2-inch pieces and place in a pot just large enough to fit corn snugly. Add enough water to cover the corn.
Add the salt, black pepper, hot sauce, butter and garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 30 minutes. Check periodically to make sure the water level remains the same. Add more water as needed. Rotate the corn in the pot for even cooking.

YIELDS: 6 to 8 servings
