Oh, Tyler Florence, how I love thee. You’ve been my constant cooking companion for years. You make the best quacamole, by far, your chimichurri sauce is to die for, and once again, you’ve raised common street fair food to an art. Oh yes, I’m talking about the grilled corn with chili lime butter. I was inspired walking around a street fair on the upper west side of Manhattan this weekend by all the scrumptious smelling grilled corn. I love it, because it’s sort of like food on a stick, but slightly higher brow. It’s like the aristocrat of corn dogs. So I ran home to fire up the grill and make one of my favorite all time summer bbq staples. Try Tyler’s recipe, it’s delicious. Love ya, Ty!
12 ears fresh corn, unshucked
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 limes, zest finely grated
1 bunch fresh chervil, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound queso fresco, finely grated
1/4 cup chili powder
Soak the corn in a large container of water for 1 hour. Prepare the grill. Put the soaked cobs on the hot grill and cook for 30 to 40 minutes, turning frequently. The corn is done when it feels soft when you press on it.
While the corn is grilling make the lime butter: In a small bowl add the butter, lime zest, chervil, chili powder and salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well and spread onto a large plate.
Take the corn off the grill and carefully peel back the husks (it will be hot). Remove the corn silk and tie the husks in a knot so you can hold on to it like a handle. Roll in the lime butter. Place on a large platter and serve immediately.

I love grilled corn. We usually use mexican seasoning, butter, and parmesan cheese but this sounds so good. I bet this would be a yummy side dish with fajitas.

Hi. Thanks for stopping by and following me! You have a great blog here. I’m now following you back!
We moved, but so far our grill hasn’t moved with us. Just as soon as The Big Guy comes back from a month-long business trip overseas, he’s going grill shopping – and the first thing I’m cooking? Your grilled corn! So yum! What do you do with the queso fresco, though?
Grilled corns sound awesome and the smell as you said is so good! Perfect for summer.
