Cook's notes: Recipe requires about 2 hours for corn to marinate. For
optimal flavor, choose the sweetest corn you can find.
Preliminaries: Whisk oil, cilantro, tomato paste and chili sauce in a
bowl. Set aside.
Marinate the corn: Cut each corn cob into three sections and blanch
in a pot of boiling water for about 2 minutes. Drain, then place in a
shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the corn to coat well. Cover and
leave for 2 hours.
Grill the corn: Build fire or light grill. When coals or grids are
hot, grill the corn for 30 to 40 minutes, regularly turning and
brushing with the marinade.
Presentation: Serve hot, topped with butter or more of the marinade.
Garnish with cilantro leaves.
