Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
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.
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.
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.
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to carefully remove the ears from the pot and place them on a serving platter.
Brush each ear with a generous amount of melted clarified butter, ensuring they are well-coated.
Sprinkle the corn with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your paleo-friendly corn on the cob!
