Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients
8 cobs of corn, still in husks |
1/4 cup Longo’s Country Churned Salted Butter, melted |
2 tbsp Longo’s Basil Pesto |
2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (approx.) |
Lemon wedges |
Freshly ground black pepper |
Directions
Microwave corn in batches of 4, without husking, on high for 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, blend butter with basil pesto. Spread Parmesan on rimmed plate.
Holding hot corn with a kitchen towel, slice off the bottom end, about 1 row of kernels from the stem. Tip up from top to slip off husk and silk.
Brush cobs with some of the pesto butter. Place on preheated grill over medium heat. Grill, turning often, for 6 to 8 minutes or until nicely grill marked. Brush with additional pesto butter and roll in Parmesan. Squeeze lemon wedges overtop and sprinkle with fresh ground pepper to serve.
A Dash of Advice
If using husked corn, wrap each piece in damp paper towel before microwaving.
