HERB-BUTTERED CORN ON THE COB
Steps:
- In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, a big pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pulse until everything is thoroughly chopped and combined. Add the butter and pulse until thoroughly mixed. Scrape the butter mixture out of the food processor onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and form into a log. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Preheat a grill or a grill pan for medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the corn, rotating it as it cooks, until lightly charred in places, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the corn from the grill, smear each ear with a generous amount of the herb butter and serve.

Steps:
- Puree 1/2 stick softened butter, 1/4 cup basil, the zest of 1 lemon, 1 garlic clove and a pinch of salt. Cook 4 ears of corn in boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Top with the basil butter and 3 tablespoons shredded parmesan; season with salt and pepper.
CORN ON THE COB WITH COCONUT AND LIME
Anyone avoiding dairy might notice that corn on the cob served at cookouts usually comes slathered with butter. This vegan alternative uses coconut oil to add richness, lime juice for a little acid, and finely chopped, toasted coconut chips for added texture. Mixing half of the chips into the oil helps them stick to the cob, which is smart because you'll want them in every bite. If you can't find coconut chips, toasted unsweetened coconut flakes will add a nutty flavor, but you won't get the delightful crunch.

Steps:
- Heat your grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until cooked through and lightly charred, 10 to 12 minutes. (Alternatively, add corn to a large pot of salted boiling water and cook for 5 to 7 minutes.)
- Meanwhile, zest the lime. Set aside the zest then cut the lime in half. Cut one half into four wedges and squeeze the remaining half into a small bowl. Stir the coconut oil and half the chopped coconut chips into the lime juice.
- Slather hot corn with coconut oil mixture and season with salt. Sprinkle with lime zest and remaining coconut chips. Serve with lime wedges alongside for squeezing.

- Remove the husks and silks just before cooking: This will help prevent the corn from drying out.
- Cook the corn in boiling water for 3-5 minutes: Overcooking will make the corn tough.
- Make the shallot-thyme butter while the corn is cooking: This will allow the flavors to meld.
- Brush the corn with the shallot-thyme butter before serving: This will add a delicious savory flavor.
Conclusion:
This corn on the cob with shallot-thyme butter is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. The corn is cooked to perfection and the shallot-thyme butter adds a wonderful savory flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
