When fresh corn is overflowing on farm tables from coast to coast, and you want that just-barbecued bang, but you got no grill – look no further than your stove-top! When you put those built-in sugars to work, delectable is right around the corner! It starts with a steam and ends with a sear, and where you go from there, is completely up to you. So whether corn season was here, is here, or is gonna be here – a sizzling hot pan is where it all happens!
And when it comes to dressing your cobs, anything goes, and of course, I can’t resist weighing in – spicy butter, citrus butter, herb butter or spicy citrus herb butter – or get on the flavoured oils bandwagon, grab a brush, and start slathering! Sooooo – if you can possibly settle on one cob topping, don’t – whip up a buffet of butters & have yourself a feast!
