Side Dishes - Vegetables
CORN ON THE COB WITH LIME-CHIVE BUTTER

FOR THE LIME-CHIVE BUTTER:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh chives
2 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp finely grated lime zest or peel
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
1/4 tsp Hungarian sweet paprika
a pinch of cayenne pepper
FOR THE CORN:
8 ears of fresh corn on the cob
a pinch of sugar (optional

TO MAKE THE LIME-CHIVE BUTTER:
Mix the first 7 ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

Note: You can make this at least 2 days ahead. It will keep nicely.

TO BOIL THE CORN:
Boil your 8 ears of corn by bringing a large pot of water to boil. Add the corn and a pinch of sugar. You can husk the corn before boiling if desired. Cook corn for 4 minutes. Drain and serve immediately with the Lime - Chive Butter.

TO GRILL THE CORN:
Grill Corn on medium high heat on barbeque remove all but inner husk on corn. Fold back the inner husk and remove the corn silk. Rewrap inner husks around the corn. Grill until husk is slightly charred and the corn is tender. Takes about 10 minutes. Serve while hot with Lime - Chive Butter.

Note: You can also make the butter ahead and use with frozen or canned corn. We use this one every year.
Enjoy!
