Ingredients

Scale

Corn and Toppings

  • 4 ears corn, shucked
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (Hellman’s recommended)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Shawarma Seasoning

  • 1½ tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
  • 1 tbsp sweet paprika
  • 1¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp caraway seeds, toasted

Schug Sauce

  • 1½ cups cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup parsley, chopped
  • 4 fresh jalapenos, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ⅛ tsp cardamom
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • ¾ cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. Boil Corn: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the shucked ears of corn and cook for 5 minutes until tender. Remove the corn and allow it to drain completely.
  2. Prepare Garlic Mayo: While the corn is cooking, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Shawarma Seasoning: In another small dish, whisk together kosher salt, sweet paprika, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, crushed red pepper, black pepper, and toasted caraway seeds to create the shawarma seasoning blend.
  4. Make Schug Sauce: Add chopped cilantro, parsley, jalapenos, whole garlic cloves, kosher salt, cumin, cardamom, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Blend until the mixture is well combined and slightly chunky, forming a spicy green herb sauce.
  5. Assemble Shawarma Corn: While the corn is still hot, coat each ear generously with the garlic mayo. Sprinkle the shawarma seasoning evenly around the entire cob. Drizzle the schug sauce on top, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality corn for the sweetest flavor and best texture.
  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper and jalapenos in schug sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • Toast the caraway seeds gently in a dry skillet before adding to the seasoning to enhance their flavor.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the contrast of hot corn and cool, fresh sauces.
  • Schug sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
