Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your broiler to high or prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced parsley, lemon juice, nutmeg, salt, pepper, Tabasco, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
  3. If using fresh corn on the cob, peel back the husks and remove the silk, leaving the husks attached if possible for wrapping, or remove completely.
  4. Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the herb butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
  5. Wrap each buttered ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil to trap steam and flavor.
  6. Place the wrapped corn on the broiler pan (set 4 inches from the heat source) or directly on the grill grates.
  7. Roast or grill for 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  8. Carefully unwrap the foil, allowing steam to escape.
  9. Spread the remaining herb butter over the hot corn for extra richness.
  10. Serve immediately while warm.
