Grilled Corn Planks with Tarragon Crème Fraîche

By Judith Fertig Fine Cooking Issue 124
Scott Phillips

Servings: 4

Cutting the corn kernels from the cob in connected planks gives this simple side dish a cool appearance, but the dish is delicious even if the planks don’t stay intact. Serve with grilled, fried, or roasted chicken.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium ears corn, shucked and silks removed
  • Olive oil, for brushing
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup crème fraîche
  • 2 Tbs. chopped fresh tarragon
  • 2 tsp. tarragon or white wine vinegar

Preparation

  • Prepare a medium-high (425°F to 450°F) gas or charcoal grill fire. Brush the corn with oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, tarragon, vinegar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
  • Grill the corn, turning often, until crisp-tender and charred in some spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Using a serrated knife, cut the kernels from the corn cobs, keeping them in planks as much as possible; transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle the sauce over the corn and serve.

    Wonderful recipe. Simple to prepare and delicious. The tarragon is essential. I’ve made this countless times with fresh, local corn.
