Grilled Corn with Lime-Cilantro Butter Recipe-April 2024-www.zdask.com

　　Sweet summer corn is the best. You can make variations of the cilantro butter with different herbs and use lemon juice. If the corn isn't too sweet, add a little bit of maple syrup to the butter.

Ingredients

Serves 12

　　8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

　　1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice

　　1/2 teaspoon lime zest

　　1/2 teaspoon sugar

　　1/2 teaspoon salt

　　1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

　　12 ears fresh corn, shucked

Step 1

1. Combine the butter, lime juice, lime zest, sugar, salt, and cilantro in a medium bowl and mix well.

Step 2

2. Grill the corn on a medium-hot grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 3

3. Transfer the lime-cilantro butter to a serving bowl and serve with the corn.

　　Note:

　　Before grilling the corn, soak the unshucked corn in water. The heat will dry the silk, which will come off when you peel off the husks. Use a paper towel to rub off any remaining corn silk.
