Brentwood Corn is a staff favorite—every summer.
Summer is in here, and local Brentwood corn is plentiful and delicious. It’s picked each day, arriving at our market fresh, without losing sweetness.

The rich, Brentwood agricultural soil and temperate climate of the Delta create perfect growing conditions for high-quality corn on the cob. We now have both yellow and white corn at the store. You can’t get better than this!

Now is the time to indulge—straight off the grill or stovetop with plenty of butter and salt. Or try it in one of our favorite recipes.

Elote (Mexican Grilled Corn)

Yields 8 ears of corn

Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon cayenne powder
8 ears of corn, husked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese (you can substitute Parmesan or ricotta salata)
1 lime, cut into 8 wedges

Directions
Get your grill to medium-hot, and brush the grate with oil.

Combine chili powder and cayenne in a small bowl.

Grill the corn, turning occasionally with tongs until it is cooked through and lightly charred. This should take about 10 minutes.

Remove the corn from the grill, and brush each ear with about 1-1/2 teaspoons of mayonnaise. Sprinkle each with cheese and a pinch of the chili powder/cayenne mixture. Squeeze 1 lime wedge over each ear and serve.

If you are serving family-style, it’s fun to put out all the ingredients separately, and let everyone prepare their own ear of corn.
