Main Ingredients- 2 ears of sweet corn (preferably super sweet varieties)
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the two ears of sweet corn. While super sweet corn is delicious even raw, steaming it lightly enhances its tenderness and flavor. Place the corn in a steamer and steam for about 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook it to the point of becoming mushy. It’s best to work with the corn while it’s still warm, as this helps the butter to penetrate better.
Step 2
Next, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Once the pan is warm, add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and let it melt slowly. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent the butter from burning. You’ll know it’s ready when the butter is fully melted and releases a wonderful aroma.
Step 3
Place the steamed corn ears into the skillet with the melted butter. Using tongs, gently roll the corn back and forth, ensuring all sides are coated with the butter. As the butter seeps into the kernels and the corn is grilled over gentle heat, the exterior will become lightly golden and the inside will remain wonderfully moist, creating a fantastic texture. Grill for about 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 4
Transfer the buttery corn to a serving plate. Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top. The savory cheese perfectly complements the sweet corn. For an extra touch of color and fragrance, sprinkle some dried parsley flakes. This completes your delicious butter-grilled corn, best enjoyed while still warm!
