Grilled Corn with Sriracha Scallion Butter

17.06.2013 Jackie Dodd-Mallory (Senior Editor) 63 Comments

I’m can’t decide what I’m more excited about, the best grilled vegetable recipes I’ve made in years, or this awesome giveaway.

Lets talk about this corn for a second. Of course the original purpose of the corn itself was merely as a vehicle for the Sriracha butter, which I adapted from The Sriracha Cookbook (you should buy it, and the Veggie Lovers version), but the sweetness of the grilled corn with the spicy butter made me forget that I had acctually made other things for dinner. This is a meal all by itself. I would also recommend serving it American State Fair style in bed of aluminum foil so that you don’t miss all that fabulous butter that will melt away. And don’t be shy about adding it to your other grilled foods, shrimp and zucchini would love to take a dip in this stuff.

Now, we can chat about this little giveaway. I’ve teamed up with some other awesome bloggers to give one lucky reader a shiny new iPad:

Give them a visit, enter to win and GOOD LUCK! And if you don’t win, you can always console yourself with some tasty, spicy, grilled corn.

Grilled Corn with Sriracha Scallion Butter

Ingredients

1 stick butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ cup scallions, chopped
2 tsp sriracha
6 ears corn
2 tbs olive oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Place butter in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or a small food processor) along with garlic, scallions and sriracha. Process until all ingredients are well combined.
Scrape onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll into a log shape, refridgerate until chilled and firm, about 1 hour. Can be made up to 3 days in advance.
Remove the husks and the silk from the corn, leave stalk on, if still attached. Rub corn with olive oil, salt and pepper all sides.
Cook on a preheated grill for 15-20 minutes, rotating every 3-5 minutes.
Place grilled corn on a sheet of aluminum foil, top with a few slices of sriracha butter, fold foil around corn.

Corn season is still a few months away around here, but grilled is our favorite way to cook it so this butter will have to make an appearance at one of the first meals. In the mean time I may just have to try it on some grilled shrimp or how about trout?!

Liza Glick June 17, 2013 um 8:03 am

To find new recipes!

Marie June 17, 2013 um 8:11 am

I would use the iPad to look up recipes for dinner, because every wife know that it is a difficult task to think of something to make for dinner. I love to use chicken , so I need many different recipes.

Des @ Life’s Ambrosia June 17, 2013 um 9:27 pm

SRIRACHA BUTTER?! My life has changed for ever. When you move near me (fingers crossed!) I’ll buy an ice cream maker, make us some ice cream and then you make us this and all will be right with the world.

Maneesha Pradhan June 17, 2013 um 10:05 pm
