We've made it to Friday again - my favourite day of the week. For French Fridays with Dorie this week, we have not so much a recipe as a cooking technique - for corn on the cob.
This technique, named "Boulevard Raspail" after the name of a street market in France that sells organic produce, from whence Dorie got the idea, involves roasting corn in the husk in the oven for 40 minutes, then peeling off its "pajamas" and liberally dousing the corn with butter, salt and pepper.
I have done something very similar using a microwave for 3 minutes instead of oven roasting - I found that idea on the Internet.
What can I say - the corn tastes good this way, but corn tastes good boiled, or dare I say it, in the microwave. However, if you are already roasting some veges, chuck in some corn as well - you get yourself a nice one pot dish.
