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.

GRILLED CORN WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Mix butter, herbs, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Set herb butter aside.
• 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.

HERB-TOSSED CORN

Steps:

• Bring 1 1/2 inches water (do not salt water) to a boil in pot, then add corn. Cook corn (water may not cover it), covered with lid, turning occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a large platter.
• While corn cooks, melt butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• When corn is just cool enough to handle, cut kernels off cobs in long, wide strokes with a large heavy knife, leaving kernels in clusters. Transfer to a serving bowl.
• Add butter mixture and cilantro to corn, stirring gently to keep kernel clusters intact. Serve warm or at room temperature.

HERBED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Mix the butter, salt, pepper, parsley and rosemary in a small bowl.
• Tear off one sheet of aluminum foil for each ear of corn (large enough to wrap the corn in).
• Spread 1 T butter mixture on each ear of corn.
• Reserve the remaining butter mixture.
• Place 1 ear of corn on each piece of foil.
• Roll up tightly.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 375 degrees.
• Unwrap the foil and spread some of the remaining butter mixture on each ear 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.

HERBED BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine butter and herbs in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the paddle attachment. Season with salt and pepper, and process until well combined.
• Using a rubber spatula, turn butter out onto the center of a 12-inch square piece of parchment. Shape butter into an approximate 4-by-8-inch rectangle. Fold up parchment, and cover with plastic wrap. Transfer to refrigerator until ready to use.

BAKED CORN ON THE COB WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Smear the flavoured butter over the corn cobs. Wrap the corn cobs in aluminium foil and secrely seal.
• Place the corn cobs on a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• When cooked remove from the oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before opening the foil to remove cooked corn. The corn will still be very hot-be careful not to burn yourself on the steam.
