NOTE: Freshly
picked sweet corn can be husked and then grilled directly over hot
coals. Brush lightly with vegetable oil before grilling and then
brush with herb butter just before serving. Serves
four.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, thyme, cilantro, basil and/or other fresh herbs Salt and ground black pepper

2. Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in herbs and salt and pepper to taste; keep butter warm.
3. Brush corn with vegetable oil. Grill corn, turning often, over medium fire, until kernels are lightly charred, about 4 minutes. Remove corn from grill, brush with herb butter and serve immediately.
