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:
- Blend half the butter with the chili paste and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor until smooth.
- Cut a piece of parchment or wax paper about 12 inches long. Mound the butter on the parchment, shaping it into a rough 4 by 1-inch rectangle. Set aside.
- Blend the remaining butter with the cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the mini food processor until smooth. Mound the cilantro butter lengthwise alongside the chili butter. Fold the parchment over the butter. Holding the bottom parchment down with one hand, press a wooden spoon handle, sharpening steel, or pastry scraper up against the butter, pressing the top paper into the bottom of the butter mound so the paper becomes taut against the butter, shaping it into a tight log. Twist the ends of the paper like a party favor. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Slice the butter into pats, unwrap and serve.

Tips:

- Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations of herbs. Some popular choices include parsley, thyme, rosemary, and chives.
- Chop the herbs finely: This will help them distribute evenly throughout the butter.
- Use softened butter: Softened butter is easier to mix with the herbs and spices.
- Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the amount of herbs and spices as desired.
- Let the butter chill: After mixing the ingredients together, let the butter chill for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help it firm up and make it easier to spread.
- Use herb butter within a week: Herb butter is best used within a week of making it. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
