Honey Harissa Roasted Corn

Elevate your corn on the cob with this simple Honey Harissa Butter, made with just three ingredients. Prepare your corn on the cob how you like it; I personally prefer steaming it first as it gives the kernels more tenderness while a quick grill gives it that smoky char.

The Harissa Honey Butter is easy to make - just mix the ingredients together and brush on your warm corn for a glossy, luxurious finish. I am using rose harissa, which has the addition of rose petals (or rose water) for a beautiful, floral note that lifts this popular spice.

Enjoy this perfect side for a barbecue or holiday meal.

Ingredients

4 ears corn on cob, husks removed
3 tbs unsalted butter softened
1 tsp Harissa dried or paste
1 tsp honey
½ tsp salt if your Harissa has salt, decrease as needed

Instructions

Bring several inches of water to boil in a pot or deep skillet, then reduce to a simmer.
4 ears corn
Place your corn in the water and cover to steam for about 6 minutes. Do so in batches, if needed.
Once steamed, briefly grill your corn on a grill or in the same pan on high heat until charred to your preference.
Meanwhile, mix the butter, Harissa, honey and salt until well combined.
3 tbs unsalted butter, 1 tsp honey, ½ tsp salt
Generously brush the corn with the Harissa butter and serve.

Notes

You can use frozen or dried corn if corn on the cob is not available. Once cooked or warmed through, you can "grill" the kernels by charring them on a dry pan on high heat. You can also do this with just a portion of the kernels for a nice mix of fresh and grilled flavor.
