Italian Corn on the Cob

Now that there are sweet corn stands popping up everywhere, this delicious treat goes to the top of my list of favorite foods. To spice up some grilled sweet corn (shuck it and put it directly on the grill, it caramelizes flavors, just turn it every 4 minutes to cook it completely), I like to do some compound butters to go with it. This one is a Tomato Basil Butter that goes great with the smokey flavors of grilled corn.

1 stick butter, softened
1 t salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed
2 T basil, chopped fine
3 T tomato paste
1/2 t black pepper

Combine all ingredients and spread on corn. Enjoy!
