We’re winding down summer with our take on Greek Style Corn On The Cob. Fresh corn is one of our favorite August vegetables to enjoy, and honestly, we could make an entire meal of it! There’s nothing like biting into a freshly cooked ear of corn straight from the farmers market.
In Greece, it’s very common to see vendors selling grilled corn on the cob, brushed with olive oil and topped with a dash of sea salt! It’s a summer staple that we have enjoyed many times on our visits there. Grilled corn has a distinctive smoky char flavoring, so for this recipe, we decided to boil the corn instead so that we could enjoy the full flavor of corn smothered with the creamy topping we’ve added. Of course, if you want to add more depth and smokiness to the corn, by all means, grill away!

First of all, we need to peel the corn. Grab the tassel of silk from the top along with a few green leaves and pull from top to bottom. Repeat until all the leaves and silk has been removed.

In a small bowl add the Greek yogurt, feta cheese and oregano, mix thoroughly. It’s amazing how with just a few ingredients, this topping compliments the corn with an explosion of flavors.
