3 ears corn, in the husk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1. Peel back (but do not detach) the husks on the corn.
Pull off and discard the silk. Wrap husks back over corn,
and soak in water for 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine butter, cilantro,
salt, pepper, lime zest, lime juice and Worcestershire,
and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove
from refrigerator 15 to 20 minutes before serving to
soften.
3. Heat grill to medium. Remove corn from water, and
shake to remove excess water. Place corn on grill, and
close lid. Roast until tender (peel back husk to check
doneness), about 10 minutes, turning every 2 to 3
minutes.
4. Remove corn from grill; pull back and discard husks.
Break or cut ears in half. Serve each half with 2
teaspoons lime-cilantro butter.
Corn is at its best when grilled on the barbecue, and the limecilantro
butter complements its smoky flavor.
