Grilled Corn With Cumin Scallion Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to high.
• Strip back the corn husks, as you would peel a banana, exposing the kernels. Bring the husks together beneath the ear of corn to make a sort of handle and tie with string.
• Place the butter, parsley, and garlic in a mixing bowl and whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
• Lightly brush the corn with a little of the butter and arrange on the grate, positioning the ears in such a way that the husks are away from the fire. Grill the corn until the kernels are handsomely browned on all sides, turning as needed, basting with the remaining butter, and most important, seasoning generously with salt and pepper. Serve at once and get ready for one of the most fabulous tastes in life.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Reserve 2 or 3 of the scallions for serving.
• Drizzle the corn and remaining scallions with the olive oil, season with a big pinch of salt and 5 to 6 turns of pepper and toss around so everything is coated. Place the scallions directly on the grill grates and cook, turning a few times, until charred, 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Grill the corn, turning every couple of minutes, until nice and charred, 10 to 12 minutes depending on the grill (just keep cooking until they are the level of charred you prefer; be careful, they will pop). Remove from the grill and keep warm.
• Thinly slice the reserved scallions and set aside.
• Combine the cream cheese, sour cream and lemon juice in a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
• When the grilled scallions are cool enough to handle, chop them finely and add them to the cream cheese mixture with the everything bagel seasoning. Stir to combine, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. (You will probably need to add salt if your everything seasoning does not have salt.)
• Schmear the cream cheese mixture on the corn and serve topped with the sliced fresh scallions and additional everything seasoning.
• Alternatively, this can be made into a dip: cut the corn off the cob, mix with the cream cheese mixture and fresh scallions, pour into a baking dish, top with any good melting cheese and bake until bubbly. Serve with pretzels or chips.

Steps:

• Grill the corn: Remove the husks and brush the corn with vegetable oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat, turning, until lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make the topping: Pulse 6 tablespoons softened butter, 3 sliced small scallions, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon each toasted sesame oil and kosher salt and a pinch of red pepper flakes in a mini food processor until combined. Spread the mixture on 4 grilled ears of corn.

Steps:

• Make the sesame soy butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin and several grinds of pepper until well-blended. Remove from the heat and reserve.
• Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in oil and drawn across the grate with tongs. Fold a 12-by-18-inch sheet of aluminum foil in thirds like a business letter to make a grill shield.
• Meanwhile, cut the tapered end off one ear of corn. Pull the husk back over the stem end as if peeling a banana to expose the kernels. Rotate the corn as you peel it and gather the husks together below the stem. Tightly tie the husks with butcher's string or a strip of corn husk to form a handle. Discard the silks. Repeat with the remaining corn. Breathe a sigh of relief: The hard part is over. Brush each ear of corn on all sides with some of the sesame-soy butter.
• Arrange the corn on the grate, sliding the folded aluminum foil grill shield under the husks to keep them from burning. Grill the corn, turning the ears so they roast evenly and basting the corn with some sesame-soy butter, until darkly browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. (If you are using a gas grill, close the cover while grilling.)
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush one final time with any remaining sesame-soy butter. Sprinkle the corn on all sides with sesame seeds and chives.

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in places, about 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, stir together remaining ingredients. Brush over corn; serve with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat barbecue to medium heat.
• Place butter, cumin and lime in a small skillet, set over medium heat and cook just until the butter melts. Stir to combine.
• Place the corn on the grill, Cook, turning frequently, until the corn is lightly charred and just tender, about 5 - 6 minutes.
• Set the corn on a platter. Brush with the butter mixture; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Shuck corn. Bring enough water to boil in large covered pot to cover corn. Add salt, if desired. When water boils, add corn and cook, covered, about 5 minutes. Drain and serve with cumin butter.
• To make cumin butter, melt butter and stir in cumin; let stand about 5 minutes. To serve, roll corn in cumin butter, or use pastry brush to paint corn with butter.

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.
