corn: throw some corn into a pot of water, maybe 3.5 inches of water.



add a few tblsp of sugar (be generous), a pinch of salt, and a splash of olive oil



and a quarter of an onion, in chunks.



boil or steam for less than five minutes and let soak for a few hours.
aioli: depending on how many corn cobs, but fancy yourself a little bowl of mayo and add a tblsp of melted butter. some s+p. a dash or so of onion powder. simmer some diced garlic with olive oil + throw that in as well, leftover olive oil/garlic can be thrown into corncob pot. add some splashes of milk, and wisk the aioli mixture. it should not be soupy, it should be thick but not as gobby as the original mayo mixture.

grill the corn cobs til they have charred slightly.

put the corn on a platter, cover the centers with the aioli and let the cobs sit in the remaining mixture. sprinkle cayenne pepper as desired. add fresh parm chz. add bits of cilantro, everywhere. serve. enjoy.
