Corn with Chipotle Butter image

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), at room temperature
1 clove garlic (small), mashed
1 1/2 teaspoons , mashed canned chipotle chile kimmy, , en adobo
4 ears large fresh corn, shucked
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl work together the butter, garlic, and chipotle to make a smooth paste. Form the mixture into a neat mound or log shape on a small serving plate. Refrigerate until shortly before using. 2. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the corn until barely tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under running water to stop the cooking. Cut the kernels off the cobs. 3. In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the corn and salt. Cook, stirring, until completely heated through, about 2 minutes. Serve hot with the chipotle butter, to be added at the table.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc.
