Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Clarified butter (ghee)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
While the water is heating, husk the corn by removing the outer leaves and silk. Rinse the ears under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and carefully add the corn ears to the pot. Cover and boil for 6 to 8 minutes until the corn is tender and bright yellow.
Step 4
While the corn is cooking, melt the clarified butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe dish in the microwave. Ensure it is thoroughly melted and smooth.
Step 5
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to carefully remove the ears from the pot and place them on a serving platter.
Step 6
Brush each ear with a generous amount of melted clarified butter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 7
Sprinkle the corn with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your paleo-friendly corn on the cob!
