Lime juice, sea salt, and chives come together in a bright-tasting butter for sweet summer corn. What to drink: An oaky California Chardonnay. Easy Serving: Place the seasoned butter in large sealable container. Add hot drained corn. Seal container and shake until butter melts and coats corn. Transfer buttered corn to bowl. Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives |
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice |
1 teaspoon finely grated lime peel |
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt |
1/4 teaspoon hungarian sweet paprika |
pinch of cayenne pepper |
sugar (optional) |
8 ears of corn |
Directions:
1. Mix first 7 ingredients in medium bowl. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.)
2. To boil corn: Bring large pot of water to boil; add pinch of sugar, if desired. Husk corn. Add corn to pot. Return water to boil and cook corn 4 minutes. Drain corn and serve immediately with lime-chive butter.
3. To grill corn: Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove all but the innermost husks from corn. Fold back inner husks and remove corn silk. Rewrap inner husks around corn.
