FOR THE BUTTER
2 Tbsp sherry vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 c fresh parsley, chopped
3 Tbsp fresh oregano, chopped
2 clove garlic, chopped
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 c unsalted butter, room temperature
CORN
salt
water
6 ears of corn, husked
grated cotija cheese
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • 1. Place the vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a piece of cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring out the excess liquid. Place the mixture in a small bowl and stir in the butter.
  • 2. Transfer the chimichurri butter to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until it has hardened.
  • 3. Meanwhile, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and boil until it is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving platter. Place a disk of chimichurri butter on each ear of corn and serve sprinkled with Cotija cheese and a lime wedge on the side.
