Steps:
- Blend half the butter with the chili paste and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a mini food processor until smooth.
- Cut a piece of parchment or wax paper about 12 inches long. Mound the butter on the parchment, shaping it into a rough 4 by 1-inch rectangle. Set aside.
- Blend the remaining butter with the cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt in the mini food processor until smooth. Mound the cilantro butter lengthwise alongside the chili butter. Fold the parchment over the butter. Holding the bottom parchment down with one hand, press a wooden spoon handle, sharpening steel, or pastry scraper up against the butter, pressing the top paper into the bottom of the butter mound so the paper becomes taut against the butter, shaping it into a tight log. Twist the ends of the paper like a party favor. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Slice the butter into pats, unwrap and serve.

- While corn cooks, melt butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.

- Add butter mixture and cilantro to corn, stirring gently to keep kernel clusters intact. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Making Herb Butter for Corn
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
- Soften the butter before mixing in the herbs. This will help the herbs distribute evenly throughout the butter.
- If you're using a food processor to mix the butter and herbs, be careful not to overmix. You don't want the butter to become grainy.
- Taste the herb butter before adding it to the corn. You may want to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Store the herb butter in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Conclusion
Herb butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's especially good on corn, but it can also be used on vegetables, chicken, fish, and even pasta. If you're looking for a way to add some extra flavor to your next meal, give herb butter a try.
