Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Mix butter, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; set aside.
- Pull back husk from each ear of corn without removing it entirely. Remove silk, then pull husk back into place. (This allows coverage from the grill, both protecting the corn from direct exposure to the flames and partially steaming the ear, while still allowing smoke to penetrate the husk and some charring to occur.) Grill, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer corn to a large platter, pull back husks, and spread with reserved butter.
- Do Ahead: Butter can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before spreading over corn.

CORN GRILLED IN THE HUSK WITH ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER BUTTER

Steps:
- It is a popular misconception that corn must be soaked in water or wrapped in tin foil before being cooked on the grill. Bollocks. All you need to do is peel off the excess huskage (leaving the cob with 2 or 3 layers of husk still intact) and yank off the silk. Then simply place the corn on the hottest part of the grill and turn 1/4 rotation every 2 to 3 minutes, as the husk starts to blacken. When the entire husk begins to resemble blackened carbon, remove from grill. Peel away blackened husk and serve with Red Bell Pepper Butter.
- F.Y.I., the heat of the grill causes the natural sugars in the corn to caramelize and some of the kernels to turn brown. The more browning, the sweeter the corn.
- Roast the red peppers whole over a charcoal flame or under a broiler, turning until entirely blackened. Remove from the grill and immediately place in a paper bag. Seal bag and let sit for 10 minutes. Peel off the charred skin and discard. Slice the peeled peppers open and discard the membranes and seeds.
- In a food processor, puree the butter, peppers, basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Divide butter into 4 equal amounts, place each portion on tin foil, waxed paper or plastic wrap, then roll into a butter log, approximately 1 1/4-inches in diameter. Return to refrigerator until butter hardens. To serve, remove from foil, and slice into 1/4-inch slices. Flavored butter may be kept refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for 1 month. It is excellent on burgers, veal chops, steaks, baked potatoes, or on toasted crusty bread.

GRILLED CORN WITH JALAPEñO-FETA BUTTER
This dish puts a spicy, cheesy spin on the classic buttered corn-on-the-cob. The ears are charred on the grill, then rubbed with a feta and jalapeño-flecked butter that melts all over the sweet, blackened kernels. The compound butter is perfectly adaptable. You can substitute other cheeses for the feta, and play around with different kinds of chiles and herbs. Be sure to save any leftover compound butter in the freezer. It's also terrific sliced on top of grilled or roasted chicken, fish or meats.

Steps:
- To prepare the jalapeño-feta butter, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, jalapeño, feta, cilantro, garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt and coriander.
- Divide the butter equally onto six pieces of parchment paper large enough to wrap them snugly (6-inch squares should do it), form into logs, and wrap well, twisting the ends like candy wrappers. Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days before using, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush corn lightly with oil. Grill until charred on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes total.
- Transfer corn to plates, and serve each ear with a log of jalapeño-feta butter for rubbing onto the ear.
