Sweet summer corn is the best. You can make variations of the cilantro butter with different herbs and use lemon juice. If the corn isn't too sweet, add a little bit of maple syrup to the butter. Ingredients:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened |
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice |
1/2 teaspoon lime zest |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
12 ears fresh corn, shucked |
Directions:
1. 1. Combine the butter, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, salt, and cilantro in a medium bowl and mix well.
2. 2. Grill the corn on a medium-hot grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
3. 3. Transfer the lime-cilantro butter to a serving bowl and serve with the corn.
4. Note: Before grilling the corn, soak the unshucked corn in water. The heat will dry the silk, which will come off when you peel off the husks. Use a paper towel to rub off any remaining corn silk.
