Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 8 cups water
Instructions
Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, then rinse under cold water to clean.
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat.
Carefully add the corn to the boiling water and cook for 6–8 minutes until tender.
While the corn is cooking, chop the fresh parsley finely and set it aside.
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a serving plate.
Brush each cob with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter while it’s still hot, allowing the butter to melt and coat evenly.
Sprinkle the corn evenly with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and the chopped parsley.
Serve immediately as a simple yet delicious side dish or snack.
