No column this week but you know there's no way I'd leave you hanging. I know how much you look forward to seeing what I've cooked up for you :)) Well, if you love corn, then you are going to love this Guyanese-style corn-on-the-cob. I'm not going to do a lot of talking about it, I think the photographs speak for themselves. I give you the recipe, encourage you to try it and when you do, drop me a line and let me know if you liked it. I promise that you will be gnawing at the cob long after the plump, sweet juicy kernels are gone.
Ingredients
6 ears young corn
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1 + 1/2 cups water
Salt to taste
Lots of freshly ground black pepper
Minced hot pepper to taste
3 sprigs thyme
(If using fresh coconut milk, then use 1 cup coconut milk and 1 cup water)
Equipment
1 pot with cover
1 wooden spoon
Method
- Add all the ingredients, except the corn, to the pot and stir to mix and dissolve the salt
- Break the corn in halves and add to the pot
- Cover pot and bring to a boil on high heat; as soon as the pot boils, remove the cover and let the corn cook until the liquid has almost dried out or the coconut milk cracks
- Serve warm or at room temperature
I am sending this photograph of a grapefruit over to Jugalbandi for this month's CLICK event. The theme is Citrus.
And, don't forget to drop by Forgive Me My Nonsense... Bee's post points to a New York Times article that everyone should read.

that is a spectacular click. thank you.
I love corn.. and this guyanese twist of yours is fab.. I can imagine how delightful this would be..
The click is really really good Cynthia..
Whooooooo this is making me drool all over again, fingerlicking and all. This reminds me of a recent Sunday I share with my mom we cooked up a big pot of Guyanese style corn and added some fresh Malabar Spinach or Tick Leave Callaloo as we know it. And the fact that the spinach came from my yard made it even sweeter. Great job again Cynthia. This woman aint nothing but a teaser.
My comment just disappeared!
I love the corn. I just want to grab one from the picture. Next time I get corn I am definitely going to try your method and let you know. And the click is simply superb.

What a unique way to do corn.
tHIS IS SO AMAZING! i CAN IMAGINE SUCKING ON THE COB LONG AFTER THE MEAL IS OVER. LOVELY IDEA AND VERY INNOVATIVE.
Oooh, that sounds good!
We haven't made your tamarind balls yet, but we DID go out and get some tamarind paste (wet and dry), so it's on our list. :)
Cynthia, that's a most interesting way of cooking corn. And in coconut milk.:)
Shall try this.

Honestly i don't like corn in any veggie preparation or gravies,but then i just love the corn cob the way
we get it here ....The whole cob roasted on burning charcoals,till small blackish spots pop up here and there,and then a generous wipe with a juicy lemon dipped in salt and redchilly powder..a perfect way to enjoy monsoon showers with smoking BHUTTA(corn)
A treat is waiting for u at my blog:))
I love corn.....Corn and coconut is great combo sounds awesome.
Fantastic click......

Hi Cynthia, the kernels look so juicy..great click! have never tried coconuty corn, sounds delicious!
Coconut and corn! I bet this would be good too with white sweet corn.
Thanks Cynthia!!! Oh I hadn't thought of doing Corn on the cob like that before. Sounds yummy!!!! Also thanks for the link to the Breakfast bread!!!
Cynthia...I am so going ot make this this weekend! Thank YOU!
Awesome ... what a beautiful click too!
wow, that's only a sweet corn but u can make it till so tasty
Cythia,
I like lychees fresh, tinned ones are tasteless to me, like most of the fruits in syrup… just sweet, but I have never tried dried ones… maybe I will have to try to dry them myself one day ;)
Your coconuty corn sounds delicoius... I must try it!! Two days ago Michael bought real coconut and was showing me how to make coconut milk!! :) We also saved grated pulp, dried it because I often buy grated coconut for my cereal... but it does not taste the same... I guess they must be adding some sugar to the one from the shop.
Have a wonderful day, Margot
Love your grapefruit photo. So beautiful!
I love the use of coconut in this!
Nice click too!!
your photos are always worth staring my dear Cynthia..they make me drool!! and of course i love love corn!! I'll definitely try Guyane style!!
oh wow! That looks excellent--I think both Tavo and I would go nuts over that. Coconuty corn this weekend, definitely!
I have never boiled corn in milk before, this looks awesome! We have plenty of Ohio-grown sweet corn available now, guess what I will be cooking on Sunday :)
A Coconuty Corn sounds very yummy to me. I like corn and thanks for sharing. I have to try it this week.
Have a great time, Cynthia!
Corn is simply one of my favorite & had a lot this summer...simply mouthwatering clicks & the stuff!
Hey - AWESOME idea to make coconut corn!! can't wait to go shop for some corn to make this.
xoxo, jaden
oh!1 love your corn idea and your grapefruit look like pamelo especially the skin!! Hop over to my kitchen to collect your award!!
Oh my goodness! That corn looks amazing!! I usually just boil it with some sugar. Not anymore. Giving this a try!
Dear Cynthia!!!! It was SO great to hear from you, once I got back online. Thanks for your blogger feedback, too. Alot here has taken precedence over my blog visiting, but I made it here today, and so glad I did!! Am a coconut, and spicey foods lover, so your corn recipe is right up my alley! It sure sounds yummmmmmmo. Hope all is well, and great to be back in touch, my friend. Hugs. :-)
The corn looks so good, the use of coconut is brilliant!
How unusual, the corn in coconut milk. And you're right, the pix speak for themselves.
Here in India, it's roasted on the fire and rubbed with a mixture of lemon juice, salt and chilli powder - I prefer the plain roasted one.
That sounds lovely Cynthia! I bet the sweetness of both must be heavenly! Yum!
hi cynthia
well , corn with coconut milk must have different taste... worth trying and will certainly do..thanks for the post.
I love coconut and corn and I need to branch out with recipes regarding corn on the cobb. This is a must try.
Summer corn is perfect now...and this recipe would make it even better.
The photo is lovely, too.
Corns loos delicious , I am sure coconut milk leaves a perfect coconut flavor .
OH! the click is gorgeous .
hugs and smiles
jaya
ooo.. I wouldnt hv thought to use coconut milk as the broth to cook the corn! What a delightful idea!
Beautiful! I'm definitely making that if someone throws me some ears of corn before my next shopping venture during minimal month. Specifically going to buy corn now would break the rules of the experiment. Sigh.
Ooooh mega drool!! Wonderful corn I could just pick up and eat now mmmmm...
Wonderful click too!!
Rosie x
I am definitely, without a doubt, going to make this in the next few days - I'll let you know when I do!!!
Beautiful click too :)
YUM! YUM! YUM!.... The corn looks so good. Lovely color. Great photography....
oh, what a nice way to add a hint of coconut flavor Synthia! the corn looks luscious:)
first time to blog...ammm drooling on ur corns ..looks fantastic and colouful...
Splendid click! Corn with coconut, it is definetly to try soon :)
This is on my list of 'to do' recipes for sure. I so love the ingredients, the coconut and corn will taste great. Brilliant recipe Cynthia.
p.s ..love the grapefruit pic. :-)
The corn looks and sounds fantastic, Cynthia. I've made corn soup with coconut milk, but never thought of doing this. Now I will!
wow thats amazing. I would not have ever thought to pair coconut with corn. Coconut is so good for you despite its high saturated fat content--it gets a bad rap. I just started using more coconut flour in my baked goods now I will have to venture out into the milk!
Coconuty corn?! Gimmie! I want that. I love coconut.
This is the second corn post I've read this morning. The second being
Pinknest's cheesy sweet corn.
Corn in coconut milk. Hmmm...Now I have TWO corn recipes to try! And oh what good fortune! I just got one whole heap of corn! LOL.
lovely recipe.. such a simple one.. will try it today itself.. and the click is too good.perfect for the event.
Hey Cynthia! This looks very sinfully delicious!! We love corn & the Thais eat corn every day......you see it for sale from the street vendors & in shops. Cheers!
Going to surprise HD (Hubby Dearest) with this corn recipe...he's been asking for corn this week and after I make this he'll think he's died and gone to Heaven.
question - what does it mean for the coconut milk to crack?
This is the third time corn has come into this house since I first read this recipe. The first two times, I said, "Save some uncooked corn for me. I want to try out a new recipe."
Next thing I know HD (Hubby Dearest) is sitting on the couch eating it all. That's how much he likes corn. Today I brought the corn in, kept it in the grocery bag and made it before he had a chance to know there was corn in the house. He's eating it now and saying, "Yummy!" Finally I got to make and taste this gr...r...reat recipe. Thanks Cynthia
This information is useful to me. Every one should like corn. Thanks for your suggestion.
