Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove all husks and silk. Rinse the corn under running water to ensure it’s clean.
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.
While the corn is cooking, prepare the lime sage butter. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
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.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lime zest, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Once the corn is cooked, transfer it to a serving plate or platter. Brush or drizzle the lime sage butter evenly over the corn.
Garnish with extra lime zest or chopped sage if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
