Grilled Corn With Smoky Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Blend butter, paprika, garlic, sugar, and salt in processor until smooth.
• Wrap paprika butter in plastic, forming 1 1/2-inch-diameter log.
• Refrigerate butter until very cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat).
• Working in batches, cook corn in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain well.
• Grill corn until lightly browned in spots, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Serve corn hot with thick slices of paprika butter.

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:

• Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove silk. Brush corn with oil. In a small bowl, combine remaining ingredients; sprinkle over corn. Rewrap corn in husks; secure with kitchen string. Place in a Dutch oven; cover with cold water. Soak 20 minutes; drain., Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 25-30 minutes or until tender, turning often.
