Roasted corn on the cob

Friends I didn’t post recipes frequently for the last few weeks as my DSLR camera had some problem. Finally I got it back after service. It is a big relief now. I thought of sharing this simple recipe as a summer special. Corn ears are roasted in oven with cilantro lime butter. Best for outdoor parties during summer and kids will love this.

Ingredients:

• 4 nos – Fresh corn cobs

For cilantro lime butter:

• 1 stick or 1/2 cup - Unsalted butter (at room temperature)
• 3 tbsp - Chopped cilantro leaves
• 1 tbsp – Lime juice
• 1/4 tsp – Lime zest
• 1/4 tsp - Cayenne pepper or red chilli powder
• Salt as needed

Preparation method:

1. Take a mixing bowl, add in butter and using a rubber spatula, mix in the cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt and cayenne. Cilantro lime butter is ready. Use immediately or refrigerate.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, Coat each ear of corn with 2 tablespoons of cilantro lime butter and wrap individually in foil. Roast until hot and steaming for about 30 minutes. Serve with extra butter on the side.

Notes:

• You can replace cayenne pepper with red chili powder.
• I used Kashmiri chilli powder in place of cayenne pepper.
