Grilled Bread With Zesty Lime Butter Recipes

ZESTY GRILLED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• In a small bowl, combine the canola oil, salt and pepper, to taste.
• When the grill is hot, brush the corn with the seasoned oil. Grill on all sides until the corn is charred and tender, about 12 minutes. (Reserve 2 ears for Round 2 Recipe Corn Salsa.)
• While the corn is grilling, in a bowl combine the butter, mayonnaise, onion powder, and lime zest.
• When the corn is cooked, generously brush on the flavored butter and serve with a wedge of lime.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Cream butter in a bowl until smooth; mix in cilantro, lime juice, and cayenne pepper until thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to blend flavors.
• Peel husks back from ears of corn starting at the top, leaving the husks attached at the bottom of the ears. Remove all the corn silk and close husks over the ears again. Cover corn ears with cold water in a large bowl until husks are thoroughly soaked, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place the corn in husks onto the hot grate and grill covered until husks are charred and the corn kernels are tender, 20 to 25 minutes, turning often. Strip off husks and serve corn with cilantro lime butter.

GRILLED VEGETABLES WITH SPICY ITALIAN NEONATA

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium and oil the grates.
• On two large sheet pans, divide bell peppers, zucchini and eggplant. Drizzle the contents of each sheet pan with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, and toss to evenly coat. In batches, grill the vegetables, turning occasionally, until cut sides are tender and lightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes for the lettuce, 8 to 10 minutes for the zucchini, and 10 to 12 minutes for the peppers and eggplant. Transfer them to one very large (or two large) serving platters as they finish cooking.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine lemon juice, anchovies and garlic; whisk until well blended. And salami, cherry peppers, olives, celery, parsley and the remaining 3/4 cup oil, and mix well. (Makes about 2 cups neonata.)
• Generously drizzle or spoon some of the neonata over the grilled vegetables. Serve vegetables warm or at room temperature, with the remaining neonata on the side.

GRILLED GARLIC BREADSTICKS WITH SWEET AND ZESTY SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a grill to medium-high.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into large rectangles. Use a pizza wheel or knife to cut dough into long strips, then cut each strip in to roughly 5-inch lengths. Set aside.
• In a wide shallow bowl, mix 1/2 tablespoons of the salt, garlic powder, pepper and onion powder.
• Place butter in a second wide shallow bowl.
• One or two at a time, place strips of dough in butter and turn to coat evenly.
• Shake off any excess butter, then lightly dredge strips through seasoning mix to coat. Set side.
• In a blender, combine diced tomatoes, (with any juice in the can), remaining salt, garlic cloves, honey, balsamic vinegar, oregano, thyme and hot sauce. Purée until smooth, then transfer to a small saucepan and heat over low.
• While sauce heats, arange dough strips on hot grill, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Cover and grill for 1-2 minutes or until the strips are puffed and lightly browned on the bottoms. Flip and grill, covered, for another minute. Serve breadsticks with dipping sauce.

GRILLED CORN ON THE COB WITH ZESTY BUTTER

Steps:

• Carefully pull back each piece of corn husk one by one without detaching it from base.
• Remove corn silk and replace husks one piece at a time over corn kernels.
• Tie string around center of each cob and trim string close to knot.
• Soak corn in sink of cold water for 30 minutes.
• Remove from water and pat dry.
• Grill over medium heat turning occasionally until tender- about 15 minutes.
• Combine spread ingredients and serve with corn.

HONEY BUTTER GRILLED CORN

Steps:

• Combine the honey, butter, chile flakes, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon of salt in a deep disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum tray.
• Adjust the burners on a gas grill or arrange the hot coals on a charcoal grill to build a fire that is hot on one side and medium-low on the other side. Place the aluminum tray on the cooler side. Cover and let heat for a few minutes, swirling the butter occasionally until it is all melted and the liquid simmers gently.
• Add the corn to the hot side of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the kernels are lightly blackened in spots all over, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to the aluminum tray and turn to coat in the liquid. Keep turning as the liquid reduces to a shiny glaze, 10 to 12 minutes. (You can also cook other foods over the hot side while the corn stays hot in the tray. Once glazed, you can continue to hold the corn in the pan for up to another 30 to 45 minutes, turning it occasionally and topping up with ¼ cup water as necessary to prevent the honey and butter from burning.)
• When ready to serve, coat a final time, sprinkle the corn with the minced parsley or chives and transfer to a serving platter.
