Corn on the Cob - with Cilantro Lime Butter

Cookbook club is back - and we made some crazy awesome stuff!!  We made this with Fresh Herb and Watermelon-Feta Salad and Grilled Portobello Bell Pepper Goat Cheese Sandwiches .  I got to use my fun corn on the cob holders (crate and barrel folks)!  I also got to use my awesome corn on the cob "butterer".  I got this from pampered chef - it's super fun....and then you don't have to use a "butter bread" (if you don't know what that is - you must not be a Sodahl...hehe)












Ingredients
6 ears corn, shucked
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1 lime, zested and juiced
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Put the butter in a mixing bowl and, using a rubber spatula, mix in the cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt and cayenne. Use immediately or refrigerate.

Coat each ear of corn in 2 tablespoons of the cilantro lime butter and wrap individually in foil. Roast until hot and steaming, about 25 minutes.  Check out "Grillmaster Kate" - not sure we could have made our meal tonight without her :)

 Serve with extra butter on the side.
