Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Peel back the husks of the corn but leave them attached at the base. Remove the silk strands and pull the husks back up to cover the corn.
Step 2
Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, place the corn in the pot, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook the corn for 7-10 minutes or until tender.
Step 4
While the corn is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Finely mince the garlic cloves and stir them into the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the garlic butter along with the salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Once the corn is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot using tongs and gently pull back the husks to expose the kernels.
Step 7
Brush each ear generously with the garlic herb butter using a pastry brush or spoon.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious corn on the cob!
