Ingredients
- 4 ears Corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Shuck the corn and remove all husks and silk. Rinse the corn under running water to ensure it’s clean.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the corn and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, you can grill the corn by brushing it lightly with olive oil and placing it on a preheated grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 3
While the corn is cooking, prepare the lime sage butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
Step 4
Finely chop the sage leaves and add them to the melted butter. Let the butter simmer gently for 1-2 minutes to infuse the flavor of the sage.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 6
Once the corn is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate or platter. Brush or drizzle the lime sage butter evenly over the corn.
Step 7
Garnish with extra lime zest or chopped sage if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
