Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chimichurri Butter
Description
This recipe involves grilling corn on the cob directly on a medium heat grill with olive oil and seasoning until cooked evenly and slightly charred on all sides. Separately, a chimichurri butter is prepared by stirring room-temperature butter with chimichurri sauce, which consists of parsley, cilantro, garlic, onions, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. The butter melts over the hot grilled corn, infusing it with fresh herb flavors and a subtle kick.
The grilled corn and chimichurri butter make a flavorful side ideal for outdoor meals. Optional preparation includes cutting the kernels off the cob and mixing with chimichurri butter off the heat. The herb butter can also enhance steaks, chicken, or vegetables.
Homemade chimichurri sauce is quick to make and can be used in other recipes, adding versatility beyond this corn dish.
