CORN ON THE COB WITH LIME AND MELTED BUTTER

Add the corn to the boiling water, and cook just until the corn is tender, 3 to 4 minutes; this should not take much longer than the time required for the water to return to a boil.
- Drain the corn. Toss with the melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze directly onto corn.

Steps:
- Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
- While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate. Spread the queso fresco onto another plate.
- Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter and then roll in the queso fresco; sprinkle with the Ancho Chile Rub. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.
- For the spice rub: Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in spice grinder and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.

Steps:
- Peel back husks, leaving them attached at the base of the ear. Remove and discard silk; pull husks back over corn. Place a triple thickness of all-white paper towels in the microwave. Place ears, side by side, on towels. Microwave on high 8 to 9 minutes or until crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice, chili powder, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper until blended.
- Remove husks; serve with cilantro-lime butter.
Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob. Look for ears with bright green husks and silks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are likely to be old and dry.
- Remove the husks and silks just before cooking. This will help to prevent the corn from drying out.
- Cook the corn in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or until it is tender. Do not overcook the corn, as this will make it tough.
- Serve the corn immediately with melted butter, lime wedges, and salt. You can also add other toppings, such as grated Parmesan cheese, chili powder, or chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
Corn on the cob with lime and melted butter is a delicious and easy summer side dish. It is a perfect addition to any barbecue or potluck.
