6 Ways to Dress Up Corn on the Cob
Summer corn barely needs embellishment, but if you’re of the belief that more is more, here are six ways to make your corn even more flavorful.
1. Sweet and spicy.Blend butter withhoney and cayenneand spread it on the corn before grilling it (with the husks pulled back on) until it’s tender. Or, grill the corn with the husks off and brush it witha mango-habanero butterwhen it’s done cooking.
2. Parmesan butter.Up the umami quotient of corn by basting it witha garlicky Parmesan butteras it grills (husks off).
3. Seasoning salts.Instead of adding ingredients to the butter,mix the saltwith citrus zest or spices like smoked paprika
4. Roasted garlic.For a less-fatty but still-creamy spread,mix roasted garlic到你的黄油。
5. Mayonnaise.Instead of just using butter, make Mexican-style corn: Spread it with mayonnaise, then give ita sprinkle of cheese and chile powder. Or simply brush it with a seasoned mayo, likein bread crumbsand baking it until it’s crisp.
