Beautiful! I’ve been grilling my sweet corn lately, straight up, full ears, with no preparation other than shucking. It gets nice and carmelized and tastes great with butter or olive oil and salt. This is a much fancier presentation, and the basil is a great addition. I wonder if I could get away without that pre-boiling step….

What a great idea. Kids and adults will love this. I have to bookmark so I remember next year to do it. I imagine cutting the cobs can’t be too easy.

Yum! We tried these this weekend with corn fresh from the farmers market and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing it!

I feel summer slipping away and I’m so sad. Your grilled corn coins look like pretty flowers.

I read “the cook” and “garden & farm” pages and it’s so inspirational. Having grown up in NYC, I know so little about farming but I’m interested in getting my hands dirty. Your farm is hours away from me, but I’m going to look for something closer. Thanks!

Ingenious or should I say Ingenuity-ious:) Can corn coins look “darling?”

Thank you for sharing your intimate memories of time on the farm. My daughter just sent me a video of the grandkids watching their first potato harvest up close in Idaho. (They were gleaning I think she said) I could hear their awe in the background. I wish I could have been there to watch there glee. I know a lasting memory was instilled. Thanks again Jennie:)

P.S. I know exactly what you mean about getting the kernels in a row. Something like paring an apple all in one peeling as in Sleepless in Seattle:) That corn bag sounds like patent material, LOL

Enjoy the rest of your weekend…

Raw-raw, Joel? Not blanched a little at least? I don’t know if I’ve ever just tucked into a raw ear without giving it a quick bath in boiling water at least. I might have to try that!

Being from Nebraska, the cornhusker state, I enjoy a good fresh corn dish. My favorite way is raw, but these coins look like they’d be whimsical with scallops or shrimp! Yum!

Great idea-I’ll have to make these coins this week before we say bye to the corn! Thanks for the idea, beautiful pictures as always!
