  • 1 red hot chile pepper, seeded and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon chopped cilantro leaves
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Method

  • Build a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill.
  • Pull off most of the corn husks, leaving only a double layer of husk attached.
  • Remove and discard the silk.
  • Using a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse together all the ingredients, except the butter, until finely chopped.
  • Add the butter and pulse until smooth.
  • Spread a light film of paste over the kernels and replace the attached husks.
  • When the coals are dusty and glowing, grill the corn, turning often, for about 10 minutes until the husks are lightly charred.
  • Serve the corn in their husks.
