Corn and coconut make so much sense together you’ll wonder why we default to butter. Our dead-simple go-to summer side, inspired by Andy Ricker.

In this recipe, inspired by Andy Ricker’s grilled corn from his book “Pok Pok,” cut corn kernels pair with coconut to make a delicious savory-sweet side that’s perfect for cookouts or potlucks. The natural sugars and fat in the coconut milk speed the charring of the corn kernels (be sure to use a broiler-safe baking sheet for this recipe). Lime and coconut are a natural pairing, and whisked together they make an excellent finishing drizzle that’s bright, yet creamy. If corn is in season, cut the kernels from freshly shucked ears; you’ll need 3 large or 4 medium ears.
