GRILLED CORN WITH CUMIN SCALLION BUTTER

Steps:

• In a dry small heavy skillet toast seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet, until fragrant, about 1 minute, and cool. In an electric coffee/spice grinder finely grind seeds and salt. Finely chop enough scallion greens to measure 1/3 cup. In a saucepan melt butter with cumin salt, stirring, and stir in scallion greens and lemon juice. Cool butter.
• While butter is cooling, peel back husks from corn, leaving them attached at base of ears, and discard silk. Brush kernels with some butter and reassemble husks over ears. Chill remaining butter, covered. Peel off a few layers of husks and tear lengthwise into narrow strips. Tie ends of reassembled ears with strips of husks. Corn may be prepared 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Prepare grill.
• Grill corn on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it occasionally, 20 minutes. (Alternatively, in a shallow baking pan roast corn in middle of a preheated 450°F. oven, turning it occasionally, 35 minutes.) Reheat remaining cumin scallion butter.
• Serve corn with melted butter.

COCONUT CREAMED CORN WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Husk the corn and remove the silk. Stand each ear upright in a shallow bowl, and cut the kernels off with a sharp knife. With the back of the knife, scrape the cob down to press out the milk. Set aside.
• Rub the bottom of a saute pan with the oil, and place over medium heat. Add the cumin and onion, and saute until the onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add corn kernels with their milk, the ginger and the coconut milk. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cayenne. Heat until simmering; add coriander, and mix well. Serve hot or warm.

CORN ON THE COB WITH GREEN CORIANDER BUTTER

Steps:

• To grill the corn: Heat gas grill, or prepare a bed of hot coals, then heat and clean grates. To boil the corn: Set a large pot of water over high heat. Cover and bring to a boil.
• In the meantime, pound minced chiles into a fine paste in a mortar. Remove half the pounded chiles, and reserve. Add 2 tablespoons green coriander seeds to the mortar, and lightly pound until they break up and release a heavenly aroma, then stir in butter, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, flaky salt and cilantro. Taste and adjust for salt, and add reserved chiles as needed. Butter should be very fragrant, highly seasoned, savory, spicy and pungent.
• To grill corn: Cook over high heat or hot coals until just charred on all sides, about 8 minutes. To boil: Season boiling water generously with fine sea salt, and boil corn until just cooked, about 3 minutes.
• Slather butter over hot corn, sprinkle with remaining coriander seeds and flowers, if using, and serve with lime wedges.
• Refrigerate any remaining butter for up to 5 days. Serve with grilled fish, shellfish, chicken or vegetables.
