Ingredients:
- 3 medium ears (306g) yellow sweet corn
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Directions:
- Peel back (but do not detach) the husks on the corn. Pull off and discard the silk. Wrap husks back over corn, and soak in water for 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine butter, minced cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from refrigerator 15 to 20 minutes before serving to soften.
- Heat grill to medium. Remove corn from water, and shake to remove excess water. Place corn on grill, and close lid. Roast until tender (peel back husk to check doneness), about 10 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove corn from grill; pull back and discard husks. Break or cut ears in half. Serve each half with 2 teaspoons lime-cilantro butter.
