Flavored Butters For Corn Recipes

Steps:

• These flavored butter recipes start with half a cup of softened butter. You can create different flavors in your butter by mixing in different herbs and spices. Once you have the basic recipe down, try other combinations. These butters are simple to make; just mix the ingredients in a small bowl and beat the mixture until it's fluffy. If you don't use all of it, roll the rest into a log shape and refrigerate or freeze it.

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the herbs; transfer to bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Squeeze excess water from herbs; mince with a sharp knife. Transfer herbs to the bowl of a food processor, add 1/2 pound butter, process until well combined and butter is green; season to taste. Transfer herb butter to plastic wrap, and refrigerate or freeze until needed.
• Divide the remaining pound of butter between two bowls. Add the chile powders to one bowl. Combine thoroughly with a rubber spatula; season to taste. Transfer to plastic wrap, and refrigerate or freeze until needed. Repeat with curry powder.

Steps:

• Heat an outdoor grill or a stovetop grill to high. Peel back husks of corn, but do not remove. Remove all silk from corn and coat corn with cooking spray. Sprinkle corn with salt and smooth husks back into place. Rub each husk with water and place directly on grill. Grill, turning occasionally, until kernels soften and husks blacken, 10 to 12 minutes. Pull back husks and serve corn with 1 teaspoon flavored butter.
