How To Make corn on the cob with garlic-ancho butter
-
Step 1Soak chile in warm water in a 1-cup glass measure until softened, about 30 minutes, then drain.
-
Step 2Finely chop cilantro and garlic together in a food processor.
-
Step 3Add chile, lime juice, sugar, and salt, then process until finely chopped.
-
Step 4Add butter and blend until smooth, then spoon into a ramekin.
-
Step 5Cook corn in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a platter and serve with butter.
-
Step 6Note: Garlic-ancho butter keeps, tightly covered and chilled, 1 week.
-
Step 7Tip: Slightly melt the butter before adding all the ingredients. Then let it sit in the frig to firm back up. Makes mixing the lime much easier.
