Grilled Corn with Pesto Butter

Grilled Corn on the Cob

WITH PESTO BUTTER

STORY & PHOTOS BY PRIYA HUTNER

It was many years ago in a small Italian restaurant in the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y., that I savored my rst corn on the cob with pesto butter. e corn was roasted and slathered with a delicious compound butter oozing with basil and parmesan.

I went home and immediately made pesto butter, rolled my ear of corn in it and served it up for dinner. ese days, I grill the corn in the husk and then peel o the husk and roll the ear in the compound butter. So good. 
