RECIPE

CORN-Y COMPOUND BUTTER

Celebrate one of summer’s favorite vegetables – corn – with a delicious compound butter to add to roasted ears. Mattawoman Creek Farms will have their first organic sweet corn of the season at this weekend’s market. Compound butter is quick and easy to make simply by adding a few ingredients to softened butter and letting it firm up again before use. Here’s our version that’s we think is a-maize-ing. 

In a bowl, add 1 sticks of unsalted butter and allow to soften at room temperature. Add 2-3 roasted garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon fresh chopped thyme, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and a dash of sea salt. With a wooden spoon, combine completely and roll into a log with wax paper, twisting each end to close, and refrigerate for at least one hour. To use, cut off a generous-sized medallion and spread on roasted ear of corn. Yield 6-8 servings.
