Sweetcorn With Smoked Paprika Lime Butter Recipes

CORN WITH PAPRIKA BUTTER

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 stick softened butter, 1 small clove grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Boil 4 ears corn in salted water until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain the corn and dot with the spiced butter.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine butter, cilantro, garlic, lime zest, chili powder and paprika; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside. Preheat grill to medium heat. Peel back outer husks, leaving them attached at the base of the ear; do not remove inner husks. Remove and discard silks; rinse corn and pat dry using paper towels. Brush corn with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add corn to grill; cover and cook, turning occasionally, until husks are slightly charred and corn is tender, about 12-15 minutes.* Peel down husks and spread with butter mixture. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

GRILLED CILANTRO, LIME + PAPRIKA CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Heat grill over high until hot.
• If you want a bit of a char on the corn, pull back a few of the husks on each ear of corn. Place the corn directly on the grill, cover, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until the husks are charred on all sides, rotating occasionally. Remove and let cool until they can safely be handled.
• Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. You can either discard the husks completely or fold them back to use as handles.
• Use a pastry brush or your hands to spread the coconut oil over each ear of corn. Place the corn on a serving platter, sprinkle with the smoked paprika, spritz with the fresh lime juice, sprinkle with cilantro, and season with sea salt and black pepper. Serve.

SWEETCORN WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA & LIME BUTTER

Steps:

• Peel back the corn husks, then trim away using a sharp knife and discard. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, lower the heat to medium and cook the corn cobs for 10 mins. If you'll be cooking the corn in a frying pan instead of the barbecue, cook for 13 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the paprika & lime butter. Mix the softened butter with the paprika until fully combined. Stir in half the lime zest and half the parmesan.
• Light the barbecue, if using, and wait until the coals are ashen. Alternatively, heat a dry frying pan over a medium heat until hot. Drain the corn, pat dry with kitchen paper and brush lightly with the oil. Cook for 7-10 mins in the hot pan or on the barbecue, turning every couple of minutes until golden and slightly charred in spots.
• Remove the corn to a plate using tongs and spread the paprika butter all over it. Sprinkle with the rest of the parmesan, the coriander and the remaining lime zest. Serve with the lime halves for squeezing over.
