Best 9 Grilled Corn With Cumin Scallion Butter Recipes

GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Fill a large bowl or your largest pot with enough cold water to completely submerge the corn.
• Pull away the outermost layer of the husks. With scissors or kitchen shears, trim off the topmost part of the husks up to the cob, including the silk tassel. Place the ears in the water. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or up to 8 hours (this will keep the husks from burning).
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium (about 350 to 400 degrees F).
• Remove the corn from the water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, cover, then grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning it every 5 minutes or so to ensure the corn cooks evenly. When the corn is done, the kernels should be tender when pierced with a thin, sharp knife.
• Meanwhile if making the Mexican corn, in a small bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the Parmesan, chili powder, chipotle chile powder, cumin, and salt. Zest the lime directly into the bowl, then cut the lime into wedges. If making classic corn, skip this step and butter and season the corn directly.
• Let the corn cool for at least 5 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel back the husks and remove any stuck-on bits of silk (any remaining silk should come away easily, but if it is stubborn, it can be rubbed away with a kitchen towel).
• Brush the grilled corn all over with the Mexican butter; serve hot with a wedge of lime to squeeze over the top. Or for classic corn, butter the corn and season with salt and pepper as desired.

CORN WITH SCALLION-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Pulse 1/2 stick softened butter, the grated zest of 1 lime, 2 sliced scallions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a food processor. Boil 4 ears corn until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and spread with the butter. Season with salt and pepper.

CORN WITH GINGER-SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• Grill the corn: Remove the husks and brush the corn with vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat, turning, until lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make the topping: Pulse 6 tablespoons softened butter, 3 sliced small scallions, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon each toasted sesame oil and kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a mini food processor until combined. Spread the mixture on 4 grilled ears of corn.

CORN WITH CHILE-LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine the butter, garlic, lime juice, cilantro, chile paste and cumin in a bowl. Add salt and pepper; mix well.

GRILLED CORN WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• Strip back the corn husks, as you would peel a banana, exposing the kernels. Bring the husks together beneath the ear of corn to make a sort of handle and tie with string.
• Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
• Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.

GRILLED CORN WITH CUMIN AND LIME

• Set the corn on a platter. Brush with the butter mixture; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

GRILLED CORN WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Mix butter, herbs, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Set herb butter aside.
• Brush corn with oil and grill, turning often, until it is tender and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes.
• Transfer corn to a large platter or bowl and spread with reserved herb butter, dividing evenly.
• DO AHEAD: Herb butter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before spreading over grilled ears of corn.

CORN ON THE COB WITH CUMIN BUTTER

Steps:

• Shuck corn. Bring enough water to boil in large covered pot to cover corn. Add salt, if desired. When water boils, add corn and cook, covered, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with cumin butter.
• To make cumin butter, melt butter and stir in cumin; let stand about 5 minutes. To serve, roll corn in cumin butter, or use pastry brush to paint corn with butter.
