Stovetop Corn on the Cob with Compound Butter

Ingredients

  • 6 to 8 ears fresh summer corn, shucked
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/3 teaspoon sea salt (I think this should be 1/4 or 1/2, since standard measuring spoons don’t come in 1/3)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh basil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme

Preparation Instructions

  1. Boil the corn—Fill a 5-quart pot about 2/3 full of water, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Use tongs to carefully drop corn into boiling water. Remove pot from heat, cover, and let corn sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the compound butter—In a small bowl, stir together softened butter with minced herbs. Refrigerate until corn is cooked.
  3. Garnish and serve—Using tongs, transfer corn to serving platter. Slather each ear generously with compound butter and serve.
