Sweet corn for all summer meals

I naturally gravitate towards corn in summer. At all other times for whatever reason everyone in the family shuns them. Of course, they are not readily available around the year either.

During summer we seek them out. Some of the ways I cook corn are:

1. Lightly steaming and adding a touch of unsalted butter and lime
2. Roasting them till they turn almost black, then adding a touch of cayenne pepper and lime over
3. Cooking them well and making corn soup
4. Adding some lightly cooked kernels to other grain salads, like quinoa and some sweet colored peppers
5. Garnishing with some Indian spices and adding a touch of fresh cilantro
6. Corn relish with some seeded green chillies, tomatoes and red pepper.

I have quite a few others but these are the most popular of my corn dishes.
