Grilled Corn with Herb Butter
Description
Grilled Corn with Herb Butter starts by mixing softened butter with a fresh herb blend including basil, parsley, and coriander, plus crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. This mixture is rubbed onto halved sweetcorn ears before wrapping them in foil for grilling. The foil packet method steams and grills the corn simultaneously over the BBQ, enhancing flavor while keeping the kernels juicy and tender.
Once cooked, the corn is unwrapped and placed on a serving platter, where it is sprinkled with additional fresh herbs and crumbled soft goat cheese. The cheese adds creaminess and a mild tang that complements the herb butter infusion. The grilling imparts subtle smokiness without drying out the corn.
This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a side during summer meals. The notes emphasize selecting fresh, sweet corn and caution against overcooking to prevent chewiness. Adding red chili flakes can spice up the flavor before serving. Leftover cooked corn kernels can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
