Grilled Corn on the Cob with Pesto Butter
If Mexican street corn took a trip to Genoa, it might come back slathered in pesto butter like this grilled corn on the cob recipe. This Italian flair works because the flavors of basil and Parmesan have a natural affinity with corn.

  • Combine butter, lemon zest, salt, pepper, garlic and 2 tablespoons each basil and Parmesan in a mini food processor. Process until smooth. (Alternatively, mash with a fork in a small bowl.)

  • Brush corn with oil. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until slightly charred and tender, 8 to 10 minutes.

  • Spread the butter mixture over the corn and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons each basil and Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate butter (Step 2) for up to 3 days.
