Grilled Corn With Hoisin Orange Butter Food

GRILLED CORN WITH HOISIN-ORANGE BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper.
• Grill corn until beginning to soften, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Brush all over with hoisin butter; continue to grill until corn is tender, brushing occasionally with more hoisin butter, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer to platter; brush with more hoisin butter. Sprinkle with cilantro; serve.
• * Available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream butter in a bowl until smooth; mix in cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Peel husks back from ears of corn starting at the top, leaving the husks attached at the bottom of the ears. Remove all the corn silk and close husks over the ears again. Cover corn ears with cold water in a large bowl until husks are thoroughly soaked, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the corn in husks onto the hot grate and grill covered until husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Strip off husks and serve corn with cilantro lime butter.

HOISIN-GLAZED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the hoisin, butter, honey, soy, ginger, sesame oil and garlic.
• Grill the corn, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until it starts to char, about 12 minutes. Baste with the hoisin mixture and continue to grill until the glaze gets sticky, another 3 to 4 minutes. Baste again before removing from the grill.
• Sprinkle each ear with sesame seeds and chives.

GRILLED CORN WITH OLIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the olive butter: Combine the butter, basil, olives, lemon zest, shallot, and salt to taste in a bowl.
• For the corn: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then salt liberally. Cook the corn for 30 seconds, then remove and pat dry.
• Preheat a grill pan on high heat (see Cook's Note). Brush the corn with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the corn in the grill pan, turning to ensure uniform charring, for about 6 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to a platter and spread the olive butter evenly and liberally on each piece. Garnish with basil leaves.

GRILLED CORN WITH SESAME-SOY BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the sesame soy butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and several grinds of pepper until well-blended. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in oil and drawn across the grate with tongs. Fold a 12-by-18-inch sheet of aluminum foil in thirds like a business letter to make a grill shield.
• Meanwhile, cut the tapered end off one ear of corn. Pull the husk back over the stem end as if peeling a banana to expose the kernels. Rotate the corn as you peel it and gather the husks together below the stem. Tightly tie the husks with butcher's string or a strip of corn husk to form a handle. Discard the silks. Repeat with the remaining corn. Breathe a sigh of relief: The hard part is over. Brush each ear of corn on all sides with some of the sesame-soy butter.
• Arrange the corn on the grate, sliding the folded aluminum foil grill shield under the husks to keep them from burning. Grill the corn, turning the ears so they roast evenly and basting the corn with some sesame-soy butter, until darkly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. (If you are using a gas grill, close the cover while grilling.)
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush one final time with any remaining sesame-soy butter. Sprinkle the corn on all sides with sesame seeds and chives.
