Corn With Ginger Scallion Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse 1/2 stick softened butter, the grated zest of 1 lime, 2 sliced scallions and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt in a food processor. Boil 4 ears corn until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and spread with the butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Combine the mint, cilantro, vinegar, 1 teaspoon of the honey, and salt and pepper to taste in a blender. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil and blend until emulsified. Taste and add more honey, salt and pepper as desired. Set aside.
• Heat a grill to medium high.
• Brush the corn with some canola oil, then season with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until lightly charred on all sides and tender, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then cut the corn kernels from the cobs and place them in a large bowl.
• Add the scallions to the bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add some of the dressing and toss to coat. Transfer to a platter; top with the cheese, mint and another drizzle of the dressing. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Mix 4 tablespoons softened butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped sage and 1 tablespoon each lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Boil 4 ears of corn, about 5 minutes; drain and spread with the butter.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• In a dry small heavy skillet toast seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet, until fragrant, about 1 minute, and cool. In an electric coffee/spice grinder finely grind seeds and salt. Finely chop enough scallion greens to measure 1/3 cup. In a saucepan melt butter with cumin salt, stirring, and stir in scallion greens and lemon juice. Cool butter.
• While butter is cooling, peel back husks from corn, leaving them attached at base of ears, and discard silk. Brush kernels with some butter and reassemble husks over ears. Chill remaining butter, covered. Peel off a few layers of husks and tear lengthwise into narrow strips. Tie ends of reassembled ears with strips of husks. Corn may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill corn on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it occasionally, 20 minutes. (Alternatively, in a shallow baking pan roast corn in middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, turning it occasionally, 35 minutes.) Reheat remaining cumin scallion butter.
• Serve corn with melted butter.

Steps:

• Stir together butter, scallions, chipotles, zest, and rounded 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
• Cook corn in a large pot of boiling water until crisp-tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to butter mixture and toss.
