Miso Butter Charred Corn

Miso Butter Charred Corn

There may not be a better vehicle for miso butter than hot charred corn. The sweetness of fresh corn against the salty-savory depth of the miso creates the kind of flavor contrast you keep going back for. This is street food elevated to something worth building a meal around.

Serves 4
Active time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husked
  • 3 tablespoons  churn labs Miso Butter, softened
  • Shichimi togarashi or mild chili flakes
  • Fresh lime wedges

Method

  1. Heat a grill or cast iron grill pan to high heat. Lightly oil the corn.
  2. Grill corn, turning every 2 minutes, until charred in patches on all sides — about 8 minutes total.
  3. While corn is screaming hot, spread miso butter generously over each ear, turning to coat. The heat melts the butter into the char.
  4. Dust with shichimi togarashi and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

The corn must be very hot when the butter goes on — lukewarm corn will not melt it properly and you lose the integration of miso into the char.
