Category: Corn
Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
8 ears sweet corn, in the husk
12 tbsp salted butter, at room temperature
2 cloves garlic, very finely minced
1 to 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and very finely minced
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and very finely minced
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1/2 tsp pure chile powder (optional), or more to taste
Coarse salt (kosher or sea)
You will also need:
Butchers string
Shuck the corn, stripping the husk back as though peeling a banana, but leaving the husk attached at the stem end. Holding an ear of corn in one hand, gather the husk together so that it covers the stem and then tie it with a piece of butchers string. This forms a sort of handle. Remove the corn silk. Repeat with the remaining ears of corn.
In a medium mixing bowl, blend the butter, garlic, jalapeno(s), red pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and chile powder, if using. Add salt to taste.
Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high. When ready to cook, arrange the corn on the hot grate so that the husks hang over the edge of the grill (this keeps them from burning) or place a folded sheet of aluminum foil under the husks to shield them. Grill the corn until nicely browned on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side (8 to 12 minutes in all), turning with tongs.
Transfer the corn to a rimmed baking sheet, and while the corn is still hot, slather it with the butter mixture using a knife, pastry brush, or flexible spatula. Transfer to a serving platter and serve at once with the remaining butter.
