pan-roasted corn with cayenne and lime

pan-roasted corn with cayenne and lime by joanie

I love this but am not sure I will make it again. It seemed kind of dangerous, especially the part where the flames came up and I ended up turning off the stove. You see, when you cook corn on high, it can start to pop. Next thing you know, you've got ghee catching on fire, and that's not good...

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 3 ears of corn, husked and cut in half
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 1/2 lime
6 servings

Directions

Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and roll around so that each piece is coated in ghee. Cook until the kernels begin to brown. (Keep an eye on it. The popping ghee can catch on fire!)

Sprinkle with cayenne and squeeze half a lime. Top with the zest from the lime.

20 minutes
