Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 jalapeno peppers
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 ears corn, shucked

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-high heat or turn on a gas burner.
  • Place the jalapenos directly on the grill or burner and cook, turning, until charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and let steam for a few minutes. Use a paper towel to rub the skins off the peppers, then remove the stems and seeds and finely dice.
  • Mix the diced jalapenos, butter, lime juice, honey and garlic powder in a food processor or by hand until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Spread a generous amount of jalapeno butter on each ear of corn, then wrap the corn in foil.
  • Place the corn on the grill or in a grill pan and cook on one side for 5 to 10 minutes. Flip and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, until the kernels are bright yellow and you start to see grill marks.

GRILLED CORN WITH JALAPEñO-FETA BUTTER



Grilled Corn With Jalapeño-Feta Butter image

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.

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, basil or dill
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1/2 teaspoon fresh lime or lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
6 ears corn, shucked
Olive oil, for grilling

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.

Categories     Corn

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 jalapeno peppers
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon lime peel, grated
6 ears corn on the cob, unhusked

Steps:

  • Prepare barbecue (high heat).
  • Grill chiles until charred on all sides.
  • Cool 5 minutes.
  • Using small paring knife, peel chiles.
  • Scrape out seeds and pale membranes; discard.
  • Coarsely chop chiles; transfer to processor.
  • Add butter, garlic, and lime peel; process until smooth.
  • Season jalapeno-lime butter to taste with salt.
  • Transfer to small bowl. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
  • Grill corn until husks are blackened on all sides, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Wearing oven mitts to protect hands, remove husks and silk from corn.
  • Serve immediately with jalapeno-lime butter and salt.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Corn: Choose ears with tightly packed, bright green kernels. Avoid any ears with brown or yellow kernels, as these indicate overripe corn.
  • Prepare Corn Properly: Remove the husks and silks from the corn, but leave about 1 inch of the husk attached at the base. This will help keep the corn moist during grilling.
  • Use High-Quality Butter: Opt for unsalted butter with at least 82% fat content. This will ensure a rich, flavorful butter that won't burn easily.
  • Season Liberally: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. These basic seasonings enhance the natural sweetness of the corn.
  • Grill Over Medium Heat: This will prevent the corn from burning and allow it to cook evenly.
  • Baste Frequently: Brush the corn with melted jalapeno honey butter every few minutes while grilling. This will keep it moist and add extra flavor.
  • Serve Hot: Grilled corn is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve it immediately with additional jalapeno honey butter, if desired.

Conclusion:

Jalapeno honey butter grilled corn is a delicious and easy-to-make summer side dish. With its combination of sweet, spicy, and smoky flavors, it's sure to be a hit at your next cookout or gathering. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try – you won't be disappointed!
