Grilled Corn with a Cilantro Lime Butter

While away this past week, we rented a house that had an awesome outdoor grill. For most of my fellow New Yorker’s, you know what kind of amazing significance this device means to cooking. Very few people in NYC are allowed to have grills (having a grill usually implies you have your own private balcony or a roof deck equip with a grill).

Well, I have neither in my Manhattan abode, so when I saw we had a grill, I decided I wanted to get in all the grilling recipes I had been storing in my brain for the past year.

I love grilled corn, but my husband is not a huge corn fan….until he had this dish! The corn is grilled (super easy – takes less than 10 minutes) and is then topped with a Cilantro Butter, and fresh lime juice.

The combination of flavors is absolutely to die for, so much so, that I have shown you another way to utilize both the corn and the butter should you like to try it out in a different form (see the bottom of the page!)

For this salsa style version of grilled corn here’s what I did….Mix together the following and put on tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or just serve with chips as a dip!

·      2 Grilled Ears of Corn (cut the kernels off after grilling and place in a bowl)

·      1 Tablespoon of Cilantro Butter

·      ½ lime, Juiced

·      2 Tomatoes, diced small

·      1 teaspoon cilantro minced

·      Salt, to taste
