The recipe comes from Columbus, Ohio, chef Cara Mangini. Fast-and-Easy Grilling Recipes View Recipe 09 of 16 Indian-Spiced Grilled Corn with Butter, Lime and Cilantro This phenomenally good corn recipe from Janene Holig of Hot Indian in Minneapolis calls for making your own garam masala, an Indian spice blend, from whole spices that you toast and grind. If you don't have a spice grinder, you can make the blend using pre-ground spices—or just purchase garam masala (available at large supermarkets or specialty stores) and give it a quick toast to release the oils. Sweet Corn Recipes View Recipe 10 of 16 Grilled Asparagus with Minty Lemon and Walnut Crumbs Dress up grilled asparagus with this crispy crumb mixture, sort of a savory streusel made with panko, walnuts, lemon zest and mint. The combo is especially good alongside pork or grilled chicken.
