Gourmet Grilled Corn On The Cob With Herb Butter
7
Cooking corn on the barbecue brings out its natural sweetness, then a fragrant herb butter takes it to the next level.
Ingredients
corn on the cob
sea salt
1/2 cup butter
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
2 tbsp finely chopped tarragon
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
Pull back husks and remove all the fine silk. Replace the husks around the cobs and soak them in cold water for 5 to 10 min. Leaving the husks wrapped around the cobs, grill over medium for 6 to 8 min, turning often, until corn is tender. Slather with our herb butter and flaky sea salt.
Herb butter: Mix 1/2 cup butter with 2 tbsp each finely chopped parsley and tarragon and 1/2 tsp lemon zest.
