Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ears corn (the larger and older the better)

8 tablespoons salted butter -- (1 stick) at room

temperature

3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh culantro or cilantro

(we used cilantro)

2 scallions -- both white and

green parts, trimmed and minced

1 clove garlic -- minced

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

 

Preheat the grill to high. Shuck the corn and set aside while you prepare the

shadon beni butter.

 

Place the butter, culantro, scallions, garlic and pepper in a food processor and

process until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Alternatively, if the herbs and garlic

are minced really fine, you can stir them right into the butter in the bowl.

 

When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the corn on the hot grate and

grill, turning with tongs, until nicely browned all over, 8 to 12 minutes. As

the corn cooks, brush it occasionally with the butter. Remove from grill and

brush once more with the butter. Serve immediately. Serves 8.
