Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh corn on the cob (husked)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
Fill a large pot with 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Carefully place the husked corn on the cob into the boiling water and reduce heat to medium. Cover with a lid and cook for 7-8 minutes until the corn kernels are tender but not mushy.
While the corn cooks, add unsalted butter to a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
Add the chopped parsley, thyme, and chives to the skillet with the butter and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to carefully remove it from the water and let it cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.
Brush the herbed butter mixture generously over each ear of corn, ensuring the herbs and garlic evenly coat the kernels.
Sprinkle the corn with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a tasty side dish for any meal.
