Chili Lime Butter Mop Recipe
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
A mop is a southern term for a thin barbecue sauce, so it is fitting that luscious rich butter melts and becomes a mop for grilled corn. A classic southwest flavor of chili and lime only gets better with the classic butter and corn combination.
Chili Lime Butter Mop is delicious no matter how the corn is cooked. Try it with other vegetables, such as squash, sweet potatoes or grilled tomatoes.
Mop Storage
Cover and refrigerate butter for up to 2 days. Scrape into saucepan and melt mixture again or melt in microwave.
Ingredients
For 8 cobs of corn or other vegetable
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) butter
- 30 ml (2 tbsp.) chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 5 ml (1 tsp.) chili powder
- 10 ml (2 tsp.) grated lime zest
- 30 ml (2 tbsp.) lime juice
- 8 cobs of corn, husked
Method
- In small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly for about 3 minutes. Pour butter into bowl. Add parsley, chili powder, lime rind and juice to butter and whisk until combined.
- Place corn on barbecue over medium-high heat and brush with butter mixture, turning for about 15 minutes or until golden brown and tender-crisp. Brush corn with any remaining butter.
