GRILLED CORN WITH SESAME-SOY BUTTER



Grilled Corn With Sesame-Soy Butter image

Mark Twain advocated for boiling corn - preferably right in the corn field. But there's no better way to cook corn than by grilling. The high dry heat of the fire caramelizes the natural plant sugars, intensifying the corn's natural sweetness while adding a beguiling smoky flavor. The key is to brown the kernels on all sides. To form a convenient handle for eating the corn, fold the husk back below the stem end. In this version, the corn is seasoned with sesame, soy, mirin and butter.

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Categories     vegetables

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin or honey
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
4 ears corn in husks
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds or toasted white sesame seeds
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives or scallion greens

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.

Grilled Corn with Cilantro Salt image

A quick and easy side dish when entertaining a crowd for an outdoor lunch or dinner, grilled corn gets a flavor boost from salt mixed with cilantro, an herb with a zesty, slightly spicy flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 15m

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons coarse salt
4 ears of corn (in their husks)
Unsalted butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium. Mix together cilantro and salt in a small bowl.
  • Pull back each corn husk, leaving it attached to the cob, and remove the silk. For each ear, cut off a piece of husk, and tie it around the remaining husk to form a bundle.
  • Grill corn, turning often, until slightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Serve cobs with butter, and sprinkle with cilantro salt.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose fresh corn on the cob with tightly packed kernels.
  • Soak the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Brush the corn with melted butter, olive oil, or your favorite marinade before grilling. This will help to add flavor and prevent the corn from sticking to the grill.
  • Sprinkle the corn with cilantro, sesame seeds, cotija cheese, or your favorite toppings before serving.

Conclusion:
