Grilled Corn with Spiced Tasso Butter

Lisa Romerein

Servings:eight.

Smoked Cajun tasso ham lends and incredible spicy, smoky note to corn that’s been grilled and scraped off the cob. If you can’t find tasso ham, substitute another smoked ham.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. (4 Tbs.) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 oz. tasso (smoked Cajun pork), minced (1/4 cup)
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sweet pimentón (smoked paprika)
  • 1/2 tsp. honey
  • 1/4 tsp. ground mace
  • 1/4 tsp. dried sage
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne
  • 1/8 tsp. dried thyme
  • 8 medium ears corn, shucked
  • Kosher salt

Preparation

  • In a small bowl, mix the butter, tasso, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, honey, mace, sage, cayenne, and thyme until well combined. (The tasso butter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 2 months. Find more ways to use up the rest of the tasso at ourTest Kitchen Blog.)

    Prepare a gas or charcoal grill fire for direct cooking over medium (450°F) heat. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, about 10 minutes. (The corn can be grilled 1 day ahead.)

    Cut the corn kernels from the cobs. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the tasso butter. Add the corn and toss until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt. Transfer to a warm serving bowl, garnish with a dollop of the remaining butter, and serve immediately.

    I have probably made this 2 dozen times. I usually omit the Tasso because I can’t find it anywhere. Sometimes I use ham and some Cajun seasoning. Usually I just add a little Cajun seasoning instead of the Tasso. I usually don’t use all the spices either (the amount in the recipe is enough for 12 ears of corn). I think the mace is what makes this great.

    我为自己代替香肠更疯狂的al flavor and it was a big hit. The sweet smokiness of the chorizo really emphasized the flavor of the corn.

    I could not find tasso anywhere and didn't want to pay to have it shipped for such a small amount, so I used smoked ham instead. I thought the seasonings in this recipe overpowered and ruined the freshness and sweetness of summer corn. I would maybe consider this recipe to jazz up some frozen or canned corn when fresh corn is out of season, but will never again use it with in-season, fresh, corn on the cob.
