Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

8 ears corn
Kosher salt
BBQ Butter, recipe follows
Herb Butter, recipe follows
2 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 small red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons Spanish paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 teaspoon toasted cumin seeds
1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, slightly softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (basil, chives or tarragon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold husks back into place, and place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
  • Remove corn from water and shake off excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels. Serve with the BBQ Butter and/or Herb Butter. Spread over the corn while hot.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over high heat until almost smoking. Add the onion and cook until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the paprika, cayenne, cumin and ancho powder and cook for 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of water and cook until the mixture becomes thickened and the water reduces. Let cool slightly.
  • Place the butter in a food processor, add the spice mixture and Worcestershire sauce and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, scrape the mixture into a small bowl, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving.
  • Combine in a food processor and process until smooth.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ears sweet corn in the husks
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (if using salted butter, omit the salt)
3 tablespoons minced fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
  • Strip back the corn husks, as you would peel a banana, exposing the kernels. Bring the husks together beneath the ear of corn to make a sort of handle and tie with string.
  • Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.
