Ingredients:

1/4 cup spearmint
22g
7 oz feta cheese
200g
8 cobs sweet corn
940g
1/2 stick butter
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Spearmint: Finely chop the spearmint leaves. Set aside.
- Feta Cheese: Crumble the feta cheese if it isn't already crumbled.
- Butter: Soften the butter at room temperature for easier mixing.
2. Make the Mint-Feta Butter:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped spearmint.
- Using a fork, gently mash and mix the ingredients until well combined and you achieve a creamy consistency. This can also be done with a food processor for a smoother finish if desired.
- Set the mint-feta butter aside or refrigerate if preparing ahead of time.
3. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
4. Prepare the Corn:
- Husk the sweet corn, removing all the outer leaves and silk.
- Lightly brush each cob with a bit of oil or melted butter if desired for extra moisture and flavor.
5. Grill the Corn:
- Place the husked corn directly on the preheated grill grates.
- Grill the corn for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure all sides are evenly charred and the kernels are tender.
- The corn should have some good grill marks and a bit of char but still be juicy inside.
6. Serve:
- Once the corn is grilled to your satisfaction, remove it from the grill and place it onto a serving platter.
- Generously spread or dollop the mint-feta butter over each cob of grilled corn while it’s still hot.
- Alternatively, serve the mint-feta butter on the side and allow guests to apply their desired amount.
7. Garnish and Enjoy:
- Optionally, sprinkle a little extra chopped spearmint or crumbled feta on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately and enjoy this flavorful twist on a classic summer dish.

Tips:

- To achieve the best results when preparing this grilled corn on the cob with mint-feta butter, consider the following tips:
1. Choose fresh corn: Opt for the freshest cobs possible. Look for green husks, moist stems, and plump kernels.
2. Pre-soak the corn: Soak the corn cobs in water for about 15 minutes before grilling. This helps to keep the corn moist and prevents it from burning on the grill.
3. Grill evenly: Rotate the corn frequently to ensure it cooks evenly and develops a nice char without burning.
4. Make the butter ahead: Prepare the mint-feta butter ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Apply butter while warm: Spread the mint-feta butter on the corn while it's still warm from the grill for maximum flavor infusion.
