Steamed Corn On The Cob With Orange Oregano Butter Recipe

Ingredients

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano

Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

8 ears corn, shucked

Preparation

Stir together butter, zest, chives, and oregano. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; set aside.

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil over medium-high heat in a large, covered, stockpot. Place corn in pot vertically, stem ends down; cover, and steam corn until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer corn to a large bowl. Toss with some of the butter; season with salt and pepper. Serve with remaining butter.
