Ingredients- 2 fresh sweet corn cobs
- 20g salted butter
- 20g grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 2-3 lime wedges
- Fresh cilantro (to taste)
- Tahini seasoning (or alternative)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, finely grate the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese using a grater. Finer cheese particles will adhere better to the corn and enhance the flavor.
Step 2
Wash the fresh cilantro thoroughly, pat it dry, and chop it into manageable pieces. The fresh aroma of cilantro will cut through the richness and add a refreshing note.
Step 3
Melt the 20g of salted butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Be careful not to burn the butter; melting it gently over low heat is key.
Step 4
Once the butter is fully melted, add the sweet corn cobs (rinsed and dried) to the pan. Ensure the corn is in even contact with the pan’s bottom, and gently roll it using a spatula or wooden spoon as it cooks.
Step 5
While rolling and cooking the corn, continuously baste the corn with the melted butter in the pan. This process infuses the corn with the rich butter flavor, ensuring it’s evenly seasoned and moist.
Step 6
As the corn roasts to a golden brown and the butter begins to caramelize into a nutty brown butter color, turn off the heat before it burns. This stage offers a deeper, roasted flavor.
Step 7
To make handling easier, insert chopsticks or skewers firmly into the base of each corn cob. This will stabilize the corn, making it much easier to spread sauces and sprinkle seasonings.
Step 8
Remove the grilled corn from the pan and let it cool slightly. If the corn is too hot, the mayonnaise might melt and run off. Once it’s cool enough to handle, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise evenly over the entire surface of the corn.
Step 9
Using a spatula or brush, spread the mayonnaise thinly and evenly across the corn. The creaminess of the mayonnaise will gently coat the sweetness of the corn. Be mindful that if the corn is still very hot, the mayonnaise might melt excessively.
Step 10
Generously sprinkle the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese over the mayonnaise. The mayonnaise acts as a binder, helping the cheese adhere well and creating a rich topping.
Step 11
Finally, sprinkle the unique and nutty tahini seasoning over the corn. If tahini isn’t available, you can substitute it with a touch of smoked paprika powder or fine red pepper flakes for a delicious alternative flavor. Serve with the prepared lime wedges for an extra zesty touch.
