Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup ground pecans
- 1 Tbs. grated lime zest
- 1 Tbs. fresh lime juice
- 2 Tbs. chili powder
- 1 tsp. cumin seeds
- 2 tsp. minced fresh basil
- 2 tsp. minced fresh oregano
Instructions
- Prepare a fire in a covered grill.
- Working with 1 ear of corn at a time, carefully pull back the husks but leave them attached. Remove and discard the silk, then replace the husks around the ear. In a rectangular baking dish, soak the ears in cold water to cover for at least 20 minutes and then drain.
- To make the seasoned butter, in a small bowl, using a fork or a wooden spoon, beat the butter until soft. Mix in the ingredients of your choice until they are evenly distributed. Refrigerate if not using immediately.
- Carefully pull back the husks from each ear and spread the seasoned butter of your choice evenly over the kernels. Replace the husks.
- Place the corn on the grill rack, cover, open the vents, and grill until the husks are browned and the kernels are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer the corn to a platter or individual plates and serve hot. Serves 6.
