Grilled Corn with Garlic Chili Butter and Lime
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ¼ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
- 4 ears local organic corn
- 1 lime
Instructions
For Butter
- Let butter stand at room temperature until soft, but not melted.
- Using a spoon, mix the garlic and chili powder into the butter. Form the butter into a ball and place in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
For Corn
- Optional step: Remove silk and inner husk leaves. Pull back larger leaves from corn. Using two of the back leaves, tie remaining husk together into a bow before grilling. If you prefer to remove entire husk you can also do so.
- Heat grill on medium temperature and place the corn with its husks on the grill racks. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning every 2 or 3 minutes to cook evenly. You’ll know it’s done when the corn deepens in color and starts to slightly char.
- Rub down corn with garlic-chili butter and squeeze a slice of a lime over each ear.
