SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, drop corn in a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together butter and miso paste.
- Slather hot corn with miso butter. Sprinkle with chives and shichimi togarashi, and serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing.
Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for ears with tightly packed, plump kernels and a bright green husk. Avoid ears with dry or brown husks, as these may indicate old or damaged corn.
- Cook the corn on the cob properly: There are several ways to cook corn on the cob, including boiling, grilling, and steaming. Boiling is the most common method, and it's important to cook the corn for the right amount of time to achieve the desired tenderness. Overcooking can make the corn tough and chewy.
- Use high-quality butter: The quality of the butter you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the chive butter. Look for unsalted butter that is made from fresh cream. You can also use vegan butter if you prefer.
- Freshly chop the chives: Freshly chopped chives will add the best flavor to the chive butter. If you don't have fresh chives, you can use dried chives, but they will not have as much flavor.
- Season the chive butter to taste: Once you've combined the butter, chives, and salt, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, depending on your personal preference.
Conclusion:
Corn on the cob with chive butter is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its sweet and savory flavor, it's a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, fish, or poultry. The chive butter adds a touch of richness and complexity that takes this classic dish to the next level.
