Contrary to popular belief, boiling corn leaves nutrients and flavour essence in your pot. Roasting your corn is the best way to maintain its flavour; even microwaving the corn for a few minutes, then transferring to your bbq for a bit of char is easy and perfect. Here, we added a lovely herbed butter.

Ingredients

8 ears corn, husks on

Herb butter

1⁄2 cup salted butter, softened

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon grated lime zest

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Preparation

In small bowl, blend butter, chives, parsley, lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill.

Husk corn, leaving tender inner leaves attached. Pull leaves back gently and remove silk. Pull husks back over corncob. Soak in water for 20 minutes. Preheat grill (or oven) to medium-high heat. Drain corn and place on a lightly-oiled grill or parchment-lined baking sheet.

Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning several times. Remove from grill or oven, discard husks and rub each corncob with herb butter. Serves 8.
