Grilled Corn With Cumin Scallion Butter Recipes

GRILLED CORN WITH BASIL BUTTER

Steps:

• Combine the butter and basil in a food processor and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and pulse a few more times. Scrape into a small bowl.

GRILLED CORN WITH CUMIN SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• In a dry small heavy skillet toast seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet, until fragrant, about 1 minute, and cool. In an electric coffee/spice grinder finely grind seeds and salt. Finely chop enough scallion greens to measure 1/3 cup. In a saucepan melt butter with cumin salt, stirring, and stir in scallion greens and lemon juice. Cool butter.
• While butter is cooling, peel back husks from corn, leaving them attached at base of ears, and discard silk. Brush kernels with some butter and reassemble husks over ears. Chill remaining butter, covered. Peel off a few layers of husks and tear lengthwise into narrow strips. Tie ends of reassembled ears with strips of husks. Corn may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill corn on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it occasionally, 20 minutes. (Alternatively, in a shallow baking pan roast corn in middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, turning it occasionally, 35 minutes.) Reheat remaining cumin scallion butter.
• Serve corn with melted butter.

CORN WITH GINGER-SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• Grill the corn: Remove the husks and brush the corn with vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat, turning, until lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make the topping: Pulse 6 tablespoons softened butter, 3 sliced small scallions, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon each toasted sesame oil and kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a mini food processor until combined. Spread the mixture on 4 grilled ears of corn.

GRILLED CORN WITH SPICY CHILI BUTTER

Steps:

• Melt butter in small pan over medium heat. When melted, add garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne and cook about 1 minute. Set aside.
• Prepare the corn by removing all but the innermost layer of the husk. The kernels should be covered but visible through the layer. Use scissors to snip off the silk ends.
• Grill the corn over medium-hot fire, turning corn every 2 minutes until the dark outlines of the kernels show through the husk and the husk is charred and beginning to peel away from the kernels, about 8-10 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Remove and discard charred husk and silk. Using brush, brush each ear with butter mixture.

GRILLED CORN WITH CUMIN AND LIME

CORN ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Heat the garlic and butter in a small saucepan over low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the butter with the flavor of garlic. Do not let the butter simmer. Stir together the sugar, salt, black pepper, and cumin in a small dish. Stir into the butter mixture along with the lime juice and hot sauce until evenly blended. Brush the ears of corn generously with the garlic butter; reserve remaining butter.
• Cook the corn on the preheated grill, rotating occasionally until the corn is hot and tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Brush the corn with the remaining butter as the corn cooks.
