Ingredients

Corn

  • 6 ears corn in husks

Garlic-Cilantro Butter

  • 1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lime peel
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon black and red pepper blend or black pepper

    Place corn (in husks) in large container; cover with cold water. Let stand 2 hours.
  • 2
    In small bowl, mix Garlic-Cilantro Butter ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until serving.
  • 3
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Place corn (in husks) on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until corn is tender. Remove husks from corn. Serve corn with Garlic-Cilantro Butter.

  • Fresh corn is best eaten the day it's purchased, but you can store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a day.
  • Soaking the corn in cold water helps tenderize it and also helps prevent the husks from burning while grilling. If you're short on time, soak the corn for 15 minutes and grill the corn as directed.
