Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 6 cups water
Instructions
Shuck the corn by removing the husks and silks, then rinse under cold water to remove any remaining debris.
In a large pot or saucepan, bring 6 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the corn to the boiling water. Cover the pot and let cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and bright yellow.
While the corn is cooking, finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to brown the garlic.
Stir the chopped parsley into the garlic butter mixture, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Once the corn is cooked, use tongs to remove the ears from the water and place them on a serving platter.
Brush the garlic-parsley butter generously over each ear of corn, ensuring the kernels are well coated.
Sprinkle the corn with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy the buttery, herbaceous goodness of 'Ummmm Corn'!
