Ingredients

8 ears corn
Kosher salt
BBQ Butter, recipe follows
Herb Butter, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives or tarragon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Heat the grill to medium.
Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.
Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.

Tips:

Choose fresh corn on the cob: Look for corn with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that has brown or dried-out husks.
Soak the corn in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking: This will help the corn to cook more evenly.
Cook the corn in boiling water for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender: Do not overcook the corn, as this will make it tough.
Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
Serve the corn immediately: Corn on the cob is best when served hot off the grill or out of the pot.

Conclusion:

Tarragon corn on the cob is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. With its sweet and savory flavor, tarragon corn on the cob is sure to be a hit with everyone at your next gathering.
