Best Corn On The Cob With Mint Feta Butter Recipes
CORN ON THE COB WITH MINT-FETA BUTTER
This recipe takes the Mexican tradition of sprinkling corn on the cob with cotija cheese and dried chile and turns it on its head. By substituting crumbled feta and mint, it gives the summer standby a Mediterranean slant.

Steps:
- 1. Combine the butter with the lime zest, mint, chile powder, garlic, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl until mixed evenly. Spoon the butter onto the long side of an 8-inch-square piece of plastic wrap, leaving a bit of space at the edge and on the ends. Cover with the extra plastic and roll up into a log, twisting the ends as you go. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Keep in the refrigerator for up to a week, or in the freezer for 2 months.
- 2. Pour the milk and 4 cups water into a Dutch oven and add the sugar if desired. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- 3. Peel back the husks of the corn, keeping them attached, and remove all of the silks. Close the husks around the corn. Place in the liquid and cook until the kernels are tender, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the freshness of the corn. Open the husks and top each corn with pat of the chile butter. Serve hot.

GRILLED CORN WITH JALAPEñO-FETA BUTTER
This dish puts a spicy, cheesy spin on the classic buttered corn-on-the-cob. The ears are charred on the grill, then rubbed with a feta and jalapeño-flecked butter that melts all over the sweet, blackened kernels. The compound butter is perfectly adaptable. You can substitute other cheeses for the feta, and play around with different kinds of chiles and herbs. Be sure to save any leftover compound butter in the freezer. It's also terrific sliced on top of grilled or roasted chicken, fish or meats.

Steps:
- To prepare the jalapeño-feta butter, in a small bowl, mash together the butter, jalapeño, feta, cilantro, garlic, lime or lemon juice, salt and coriander.
- Divide the butter equally onto six pieces of parchment paper large enough to wrap them snugly (6-inch squares should do it), form into logs, and wrap well, twisting the ends like candy wrappers. Chill for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days before using, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Light the grill or heat the broiler, arranging the rack about 4 inches from the heat source. Brush corn lightly with oil. Grill until charred on all sides, 3 to 6 minutes total.
- Transfer corn to plates, and serve each ear with a log of jalapeño-feta butter for rubbing onto the ear.
SPICY CORN ON THE COB WITH MISO BUTTER AND CHIVES
Corn slathered in miso butter is special enough, so you're within your rights to ignore any other ingredients in this recipe. But for lovers of spice, the Japanese spice blend shichimi togarashi is worth seeking out. In English, it translates to "seven-flavor chile pepper," though not all of those seven flavors are chile: There's also roasted orange peel, sesame seeds, ground ginger and seaweed in the mix. Add it gradually, so as not to overpower the subtle flavor of the miso butter (and because everyone likes a different amount of spice). If you can't find shichimi togarashi, substitute crushed red-pepper flakes.
