Herb Butter For Corn Recipes

HERB BUTTERED CORN

Steps:

• Loosen husks on ears of corn enough to remove silk. Fill 8-quart saucepan with water. Dip corn in water; shake well. Rewrap husks around corn. Plunge corn in water; let stand about 1 hour or until husks are soaked.
• Meanwhile, heat gas grill on medium or charcoal grill until coals are ash white.
• Stir together all herb butter ingredients in small bowl until well mixed; set aside.
• Place corn on grill. Grill, turning often, 25-30 minutes or until corn is crisply tender.
• To serve, immediately husk corn; serve with herb butter.

HERB-BUTTERED CORN

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Serve with corn. Refrigerate leftovers.

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.

• Brush corn with oil and grill, turning often, until it is tender and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes.
• Transfer corn to a large platter or bowl and spread with reserved herb butter, dividing evenly.
• DO AHEAD: Herb butter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before spreading over grilled ears of corn.

SPICED HERB BUTTER FOR CORN

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.
