Cilantro Butter Recipes

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, cream butter. Mix in cilantro, lime juice, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt to taste. Cover, and chill for at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Peel back the husks of the corn but do not tear off. Pull off and discard all the corn silk. In a bowl, mash the butter and cilantro together until well mixed. Rub about 1 tablespoon of cilantro butter over each ear of corn, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then pull the husks back up and around the ear. Reserve the extra butter to use on fire-roasted potatoes if desired, or use all butter on corn.
• Prepare a wood fire outdoors and let cook down to embers. Place corn in embers of the fire and roast, turning with long handled tongs as husks start to blacken, until corn is cooked (about 20 minutes).
• To serve, remove corn from fire with tongs. Peel back husk with hot pads and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Coat each ear of corn in 2 tablespoons of the cilantro lime butter and wrap individually in foil. Roast until hot and steaming, about 25 minutes. Serve with extra butter on the side.
• Put the butter in a mixing bowl and, using a rubber spatula, mix in the cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt and cayenne. Use immediately or refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat. Squeeze the juice from the lime wedges over fish fillets, then season them with salt and pepper.
• Grill fish fillets for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and fish can be flaked with a fork. Remove to a warm serving plate.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the butter, remaining lime juice and cilantro. Serve fish with the cilantro butter sauce.
