Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, minced
6 ears fresh corn, shucked and kernels cut off the cobs (about 4 cups)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade

Steps:

  • Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, taking care not to burn them, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve.
  • Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter and garlic. Saute the garlic as the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the corn is just tender and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the sesame seeds and half the basil and mix until combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining basil.

WHOLE CORN ON THE GRILL

How to choose corn: Look for tight, squeaky, green husks and rows of kernels that feel taut and full when you run your hands over the cobs.

HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN



Honey Butter Grilled Corn image

This technique for grilling corn uses a side pan of honey butter to thoroughly drench the corn in flavor while keeping it hot and juicy until you're ready to eat. If you are feeling creative, change the ingredients of the liquid bath: Add a couple of tablespoons of Korean gochujang and a few minced garlic cloves to the base mixture, then finish the corn with toasted sesame seeds for a sweet-hot version. Add a half-cup of sake, two tablespoons of light miso paste and two tablespoons of soy sauce for a sake-miso glaze. Blend a couple of canned chipotle chiles with a few tablespoons of lime juice, add it to the bath and finish the corn with freshly minced cilantro or mint. To complete this recipe, you'll need a disposable aluminum 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or a similarly sized stovetop-safe vessel that you don't mind getting a bit dirty.

Time 20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons mild chile flakes, such as gochugaru (see Tip)
Salt
6 ears corn, shucked
Small handful of minced fresh parsley leaves or chives

Steps:

  • Combine the honey, butter, chile flakes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum tray.
  • Adjust the burners on a gas grill or arrange the hot coals on a charcoal grill to build a fire that is hot on one side and medium-low on the other side. Place the aluminum tray on the cooler side. Cover and let heat for a few minutes, swirling the butter occasionally until it is all melted and the liquid simmers gently.
  • Add the corn to the hot side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the corn to the aluminum tray and turn to coat in the liquid. Keep turning as the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also cook other foods over the hot side while the corn stays hot in the tray. Once glazed, you can continue to hold the corn in the pan for up to another 30 to 45 minutes, turning it occasionally and topping up with ¼ cup water as necessary to prevent the honey and butter from burning.)
  • When ready to serve, coat a final time, sprinkle the corn with the minced parsley or chives and transfer to a serving platter.
