HERBED CORN ON THE COB

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 ears of corn in the husk, stem ends trimmed
1 stick (1/2 cup) plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
36 sprigs fresh lemon thyme
Special Equipment
an 8- to 12-qt stockpot with a tight-fitting lid

Steps:

  • Shuck corn, leaving husks attached at base. Discard corn silk. Spread about 3/4 tablespoon butter over each cob, then lay 3 thyme sprigs against each cob, pressing them gently into butter. Pull husks back up over corn. Remove 3 pieces of husk and tear into 12 strips total. Tie top of each husk closed with a strip, then let stand 1 hour (for flavors to develop).
  • Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in pot (see cooks' note, below), then stand 4 to 6 ears of corn in pot (depending on size of pot), tied ends up, and steam, covered, moving outer ears to inside once with tongs, until crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Steam remaining corn, in batches if necessary, in same manner, adding water as necessary. Serve with salt and additional butter on the side.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs whenever possible. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use only half the amount called for in the recipe.
  • Make sure to rinse the couscous well before cooking it. This will help to remove any excess starch and prevent the couscous from clumping together.
  • To toast the couscous, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the couscous. Cook, stirring constantly, until the couscous is golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • For a more flavorful dish, try using a vegetable broth instead of water to cook the couscous.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as chopped zucchini, carrots, or bell peppers.

Conclusion:

This herbed corn and couscous dish is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, give this recipe a try.
