Roasted Corn and Garlic Rice

"I usually roast quite a few ears of corn when they are on sale and freeze what I don't use at that time," writes Marilyn Rodriguez of Fairbanks, Alaska. "This is a wonderful side dish to go with a fish fry, barbecue or almost any summer meal. It's a constant at my house."

Ingredients

4 ears sweet corn in husks
2 to 3 garlic cloves, peeled
2-1/4 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup uncooked long grain rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Carefully peel back husks from corn to within 1-in. of bottom; remove
silk. Rewrap corn in husks. Place garlic cloves on a piece of
heavy-duty foil; drizzle with 1/4 teaspoon oil. Fold foil around
garlic and seal tightly. Place corn and garlic directly on oven
rack. Bake at 400° for 30 minutes. Remove corn; bake garlic 5-10
minutes longer or until softened.
Remove garlic from foil and place in a small bowl; cool. Mash with a
fork. When corn is cool enough to handle, remove corn from cobs with
a sharp knife.
In a large saucepan, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add rice;
cook and stir for 2 minutes. Gradually add the broth, bay leaf,
salt, pepper and roasted garlic. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover
and simmer for 12-13 minutes or until heated through. Stir in
