Makes 6 ears of corn
20 minutes preparation time
10 minutes cooking time
6 ears of corn
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lime juice
2 or 3 pinches of salt
Peel off a few of the dark green outer husks of each ear of corn and discard them. Leaving the remaining husks attached to the cob, peel them back and remove the silk. Pull the husks back up to cover the ear of corn. Soak the corn in a sink or pot full of water for about 10 minutes. Turn the grill to high and let it heat for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, soften the butter to a spreadable consistency in the microwave. Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt and mix well.
Remove the corn from the water. Peel the husks back and slather the kernels with the butter mixture. Using a strip of husk, tie the husks of each ear together at the tip.
Turn the grill to medium and grill until the corn is slightly charred, turning several times, about 10-15 minutes.
