We finally made it to Ashland, Oregon. The place we’re staying at is fantastic and has a large barbecue grill. I decided to take advantage of it and grill fresh corn while the family was having fun in the swimming pool.
Instead of seasoning the corn with regular salt, I used white miso paste, which is a fermented rice and soybean combination. I chose white miso paste which is fermented for only a few weeks, as opposed to regular miso which is fermented for several months. I find the flavor to be less salty, with a subtle sweetness. Of course, if you don’t have miso paste on hand, you could always use regular salt, but what would be the fun in that?

2. Ingredients for Fire-Roasted Corn in Miso Butter (Grilled Corn on the Cob)
- 8 corn ears
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- juice of 1 lemon
3. Directions:
- In a bowl, combine the softened butter, miso paste and olive oil. Mix well.
- Husk the corn ears. Brush the corn with the miso mixture, using a silicone brush.
- Place the corn directly on the hot grill. Cook over medium heat until you get grill marks (about 2 minutes on all sides), turning the corn frequently (count every minute for even cooking) and brushing frequently with more miso mixture. The corn niblets should blacken slightly. Remove from the grill. Drizzle with lemon juice.
- Let cool a little.
- Bon appétit!
