SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, cut each ear of corn into 3 or 4 pieces, each about 1 1/2 inches long. Add corn to boiling water, and cook just until corn is tender, 3 to 4 minutes; this should not take much longer than the time required for the water to return to a boil.
- Drain corn. Toss with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze directly onto corn.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh corn on the cob. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- To make the spicy lime butter, you can use any type of fresh chili pepper that you like. If you want a milder flavor, use a poblano or Anaheim pepper. If you want a spicier flavor, use a jalapeño or serrano pepper.
- Be sure to cook the corn on the cob until it is tender, but not mushy. You can test the doneness by piercing the kernels with a fork. If the fork goes in easily, the corn is done.
- The spicy lime butter is also great on other grilled vegetables, such as zucchini, squash, and bell peppers.
Conclusion:
Corn on the Cob with Spicy Lime Butter is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. The spicy lime butter adds a unique and flavorful twist to the classic dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that will be enjoyed by everyone at your table.
