Best 6 Grilled Corn With Jerk Butter Recipes

GRILLED CORN WITH JERK BUTTER

Steps:

• To make the butter, finely grate the ginger and squeeze out the excess juice. Put the flesh in a bowl with all the other butter ingredients, plus 1⁄2 tsp ground black pepper and 1 tsp salt, and mix well until even. Can be made ahead: save 2 tbsp at room temperature (this is for brushing over the corn as it cooks), then roll the rest into a sausage shape, wrap in cling film and chill. Slice into rounds before serving.
• Boil the corn for 5 mins until bright yellow but not yet cooked through; cool under cold water and drain well. If using the bacon, stretch each piece a little using the back of a knife, then tie around the middle of the corn, tucking in the ends. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead and kept in the fridge.
• Heat the grill to as high as it will go, or get the barbecue ready. The coals should be white and glowing before you begin cooking. Grill or barbecue for 10 mins, turning often, until the corn is tender and golden, and the bacon crisp (if using). Brush with a little of the soft jerk butter as it cooks. Transfer to a dish, top with more of the butter and let it melt. Serve with napkins and a cold beer!

JERK GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

GRILLED CORN WITH SMOKY BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat.
• Mix the butter with the smoked paprika, ground mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

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 CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream butter in a bowl until smooth; mix in cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Peel husks back from ears of corn starting at the top, leaving the husks attached at the bottom of the ears. Remove all the corn silk and close husks over the ears again. Cover corn ears with cold water in a large bowl until husks are thoroughly soaked, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the corn in husks onto the hot grate and grill covered until husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Strip off husks and serve corn with cilantro lime butter.

GRILLED CORN WITH SESAME-SOY BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the sesame soy butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and several grinds of pepper until well-blended. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in oil and drawn across the grate with tongs. Fold a 12-by-18-inch sheet of aluminum foil in thirds like a business letter to make a grill shield.
• Meanwhile, cut the tapered end off one ear of corn. Pull the husk back over the stem end as if peeling a banana to expose the kernels. Rotate the corn as you peel it and gather the husks together below the stem. Tightly tie the husks with butcher's string or a strip of corn husk to form a handle. Discard the silks. Repeat with the remaining corn. Breathe a sigh of relief: The hard part is over. Brush each ear of corn on all sides with some of the sesame-soy butter.
• Arrange the corn on the grate, sliding the folded aluminum foil grill shield under the husks to keep them from burning. Grill the corn, turning the ears so they roast evenly and basting the corn with some sesame-soy butter, until darkly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. (If you are using a gas grill, close the cover while grilling.)
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush one final time with any remaining sesame-soy butter. Sprinkle the corn on all sides with sesame seeds and chives.
