Herb-Tossed Corn

This vibrant herb-tossed corn is a wonderful way to enjoy the naturally sweet flavours of fresh corn on the cob. By lightly steaming the corn and then cutting it into chunky clusters, you create a rustic, textural side dish that feels more sophisticated than standard corn. The combination of melted butter, bright lemon juice, and a subtle kick of cayenne pepper enhances the sweetness of the kernels without masking their delicate flavour.

As a versatile vegetarian side, this dish complements grilled halloumi, roasted vegetables, or even a classic Sunday roast. The addition of fresh coriander provides a fragrant lift that makes it particularly well-suited for summer dining or alfresco gatherings. It can be served warm from the pan or at room temperature, making it a stress-free addition to your recipe repertoire.

Ingredients for Herb-Tossed Corn

  • 6 ears fresh corn, shucked

  • 1/2 stick (60g ) unsalted butter

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper

  • 1/8 teaspoons cayenne

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander

  • Garnish: fresh coriander leaves

  • a wide 6- to 8-qt heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid

How to make Herb-Tossed Corn

Bring 1 1/2 inches water (do not salt water) to a boil in pot, then add corn. Cook corn (water may not cover it), covered with lid, turning occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with tongs to a large platter.

While corn cooks, melt butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.

When corn is just cool enough to handle, cut kernels off cobs in long, wide strokes with a large heavy knife, leaving kernels in clusters. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Add butter mixture and coriander to corn, stirring gently to keep kernel clusters intact. Serve warm or at room temperature.
