Ingredients

  • 6 ears of corn
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsps fresh parsley finely chopped, divided
  • Paprika and grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Make a cut around the corn husk at 2 inches from the end. Tear off the husk along the cut. Remove the hair inside.
  • Wrap up each prepared corn with foil and put directly on the oven rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  • While the corn is baking, make the aioli. Smash up the garlic with sea salt in a pestle and mortar (or use the end of a rolling pin in a metal bowl).
  • Place egg yolk and mustard in a medium bowl. Whisk until blend. Start adding oil bit by bit, stir vigorously till creamy. Make sure to blend well each time you add a bit oil into the egg yolk mixture.
  • When all the oil has gone in and the mixture is thickened, add lemon juice and the smashed garlic with salt. Mix well. Add 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Stir until even. Taste, season with more salt, pepper or lemon juice if needed.
  • When corn is done, let cool for a few minutes.
  • Coat 2 tablespoons aioli on each corn. Make sure that all sides are covered. Sprinkle with paprika and Parmesan cheese. To finish off, top with the remaining parsley.
