Ingredients

12 ears of Corn

12 strips jerk Bacon (or smoked bacon)

½ cup chopped Cilantro

Spicy Mayo

½ cup Mayonnaise

¼ cup sour cream

1 tablespoon Allspice

½ Garlic clove shredded

1 tablespoon Honey

¼ teaspoon black pepper

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon onion powder

Pinch of salt if needed

Instructions

• In a bowl whisk together all the ingredients for the spicy mayo, cover and set aside in the refrigerator
• Chop up very finely all the cilantro and set aside
• Set up the grill so there is direct and indirect heat.
• If you are using corn with a husk, peel it back and remove the leaves and silks
• You can braid the leaves to create a handle, or remove them completely
• Place the corn over direct heat and cook for 5-8 minutes turning every minute so that the corn gets golden and charred
• Once charred on all sides wrap with bacon, either along the whole thing or just half
• Place over direct heat seam side down to get a seal on the bacon, once the bacon starts to get golden turn and repeat until all sides are golden and crispy
• Any corn that is finished you can place on the indirect heat side until they are all finished.
• To serve brush the corn liberally in spicy mayo and roll in cilantro

Greedy tips:

• Note, I wrap the corn in bacon after its got an initial grill not raw. I prefer that way because you get a much nicer char flavor.
• If you are afraid of the bacon sticking to your grill you can char the corn on the grill, then wrap it in the bacon and finish in the oven. That will cook the bacon without risk of sticking to the grill. Cook on a backing tray and wire rack to make sure all sides of the bacon get golden.
• And yes...the ingredients say half of 1 clove of garlic. a whole one would be too much garlic and overpower the whole thing, you just want a hint.
