ROASTED CORN WITH CILANTRO BUTTER
Roasting corn in the husk in the embers of a wood fire is the best way to coax out all the natural sweetness. If also making fire-roasted potatoes, you can reserve some of the cilantro butter to season those.

Steps:
- Peel back the husks of the corn but do not tear off. Pull off and discard all the corn silk. In a bowl, mash the butter and cilantro together until well mixed. Rub about 1 tablespoon of cilantro butter over each ear of corn, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then pull the husks back up and around the ear. Reserve the extra butter to use on fire-roasted potatoes if desired, or use all butter on corn.
- Prepare a wood fire outdoors and let cook down to embers. Place corn in embers of the fire and roast, turning with long handled tongs as husks start to blacken, until corn is cooked (about 20 minutes).
- To serve, remove corn from fire with tongs. Peel back husk with hot pads and serve.

This is a great recipe from Party Line with The Hearty Boys on the Food Network. It has gotten rave reviews each time I've made it. It would also be great with fresh corn kernels cut off the cob and sauteed with the butter mixture in a skillet.

Tips:
- Choose fresh corn: Look for ears with bright green husks and plump kernels. Avoid ears with dry or brown husks, or kernels that are shrunken or discolored.
- Prepare the corn properly: Remove the husks and silks from the corn. If desired, you can also trim the ends of the ears.
- Roast the corn at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the natural sugars in the corn and give it a delicious flavor.
- Use a variety of seasonings: In addition to salt and pepper, you can also add other spices and herbs to the corn, such as chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, or paprika.
- Make the cilantro-lime butter: This is a simple but delicious sauce that will add a bright and refreshing flavor to the corn.
Conclusion:
Roasted silver queen corn with cilantro-lime butter is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The corn is roasted until it is tender and slightly charred, and the cilantro-lime butter adds a bright and refreshing flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
