Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 ears corn, husked
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ears fresh corn, unshucked
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 limes, zest finely grated
1 bunch fresh chervil, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound queso fresco, finely grated
1/4 cup Ancho Chile Rub, recipe follows, or cayenne pepper
3 ancho chiles, seeded and hand-torn into pieces
1/4 cup chili powder
2 tablespoons ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CILANTRO-LIME BUTTER



Corn on the Cob with Cilantro-Lime Butter image

Summer wouldn't be summer without fresh corn. And you won't heat up the kitchen when you make it in the microwave.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Cuisine-Inspired Recipes     Mexican-Inspired Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ears corn
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon grated zest of lime
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper

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. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make this dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give corn on the cob with lime and melted butter a try.
