Grilled Corn on the Cob with Fresh Herb Butter
Ingredients
¼ cup
Kowalski's Unsalted Butter, softened
1 tbsp.
chopped fresh Minnesota Grown herbs (your choice)
¼ tsp.
freshly grated lime zest
8 ears
Minnesota Grown sweet corn
- freshly ground Kowalski's Sea Salt and Black Peppercorns, to taste
Directions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine butter, herbs and zest; refrigerate for several hours.
- Peel husks off each ear of corn except for the layer touching the kernels; remove silk and pull remaining husks back up over corn.
- Soak corn in cold water for about 1 hr. before grilling.
- Preheat grill to medium heat; clean grill grates.
- Cover and grill corn until kernels yield gently to pressure (8-10 min.), turning each ear a quarter turn every 2 min.
- Carefully remove husks; serve with herb butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Tasty Tips:
- Corn can also be cooked in a pot of boiling water for about 5-7 min.
- Corn can also be microwaved in the husk. Cook each ear for 10 min., adding 2 min. of cooking time for each additional ear. Cook up to 4 ears at a time.
Nutrition Note:
