Gordon Ramsay
BY JONNA GALLO WEPPLER
An award-winning chef with 27 restaurants worldwide, Gordon Ramsay also hosts the hit TV show MasterChef, where 40 contestants try to slice, dice and cook their way to a $250,000 prize payout. Now he’s fired up about sharing his recipe for grilled corn. “It’s colorful and pairs well with meats or fish, perfect for summer,” says Gordon. “And my kids love it because it’s messy.”
Grilled Corn with Chipotle Chile Butter Olive oil 4 ears corn, husks removed 5 tbsp butter, softened 1 to 2 dried chipotle chiles, rehydrated and finely chopped 2 tbsp chopped cilantro 4 tbsp crumbled Lancashire or Cotija cheese Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Lime wedges, for serving
Toss corn in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and grill over medium heat, rotating every 5 minutes, to obtain a nice char on all sides.
Meanwhile, mix together butter, chiles, cilantro and a little salt and pepper.
Once corn is cooked, remove and cover with knobs of chipotle butter, allowing it to melt over corn. Sprinkle with cheese and serve with wedges of lime.
Watch new episodes of MasterChef all summer long, Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
