Description

Grilled corn is a favorite summertime treat and the herb butter I include in this recipe is not only spectacular on corn, but is superb over grilled meats, poultry, fish and other vegetables.

Ingredients

  • 1 stick organic butter, room tempterature
  • 1 bunch cilantro, minced
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 t ground cumin
  • 1 t sea salt
  • 0.5 t ground white pepper
  • 1 t dried oregano
  • 1 small white onion, minced fine
  • 1 clv garlic, minced
  • 6 ears corn, leaves peeled back gently, silk removed and leaves pulled back up to cover cobs and kernels

Instructions

Combine the butter and all the ingredients except the corn in a small food processor. Pulse to combine. Lacking a food processor, you can always blend by hand.

Roast corn over medium direct heat on a natural charcoal fire or gas grill until leaves have begun to blacken and the corn kernels are becoming tender. Remove corn from grill and peel back the leaves.

Let cool for 5 minutes and begin basting generously with about half the butter mixture.

Pull leaves back up, roast for 4-5 minutes more, and serve, passing remaining herb butter at the table.
