Paprika Lime Corn On The Cob Recipes

GRILLED CILANTRO, LIME + PAPRIKA CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat grill over high until hot.
• If you want a bit of a char on the corn, pull back a few of the husks on each ear of corn. Place the corn directly on the grill, cover, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until the husks are charred on all sides, rotating occasionally. Remove and let cool until they can safely be handled.
• Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. You can either discard the husks completely or fold them back to use as handles.
• Use a pastry brush or your hands to spread the coconut oil over each ear of corn. Place the corn on a serving platter, sprinkle with the smoked paprika, spritz with the fresh lime juice, sprinkle with cilantro, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve.

CORN WITH PAPRIKA BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 stick softened butter, 1 small clove grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Boil 4 ears corn in salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the corn and dot with the spiced butter.

JALAPENO-LIME CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Combine butter, lime, jalapeno, garlic and paprika in food processor and pulse process until smooth. Place on waxed paper or plastic and roll. Place in freezer until ready to serve.
• Cook corn by boiling, steaming or grilling. Cut disks of butter and rub onto corn, nesting the butter in a slice of bread to apply it to the hot corn. Season ears with salt (and fight over the hot buttered bread slice!)

SWEETCORN WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA & LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel back the corn husks, then trim away using a sharp knife and discard. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, lower the heat to medium and cook the corn cobs for 10 mins. If you'll be cooking the corn in a frying pan instead of the barbecue, cook for 13 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the paprika & lime butter. Mix the softened butter with the paprika until fully combined. Stir in half the lime zest and half the parmesan.
• Light the barbecue, if using, and wait until the coals are ashen. Alternatively, heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat until hot. Drain the corn, pat dry with kitchen paper and brush lightly with the oil. Cook for 7-10 mins in the hot pan or on the barbecue, turning every couple of minutes until golden and slightly charred in spots.
• Remove the corn to a plate using tongs and spread the paprika butter all over it. Sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan, the coriander and the remaining lime zest. Serve with the lime halves for squeezing over.
