Recipe: Cast iron corn on the cob with lacto-fermented fruit rub
Make your best corn on the cob ever, using a cast iron pan and your stovetop. If you want to take it up a notch, you can also apply a homemade lacto-fermented fruit rub to your corn before serving.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn
- 4 tbsp grass-fed butter
- 3/4 cup lacto-fermented fruit rub
- 1 tsp ground pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- *See more detailed instructions with photos above.
- Pre-heat cast iron pan to medium low heat (about 3.5 on our stovetop). Once hot, put 2 tablespoons butter into pan. Place corn ears closely together in pan and put pieces of corn husk on both sides of the row of corn to hold the row in place and add smokey flavor as husks brown. Place lid over pan and cook for about 2 mins 15 seconds on first side. Remove lid, slightly turn each ear, then rub on extra butter (~2 extra tbsp by completion) + cracked peppercorns to exposed corn surface. Sprinkle salt on only if you're NOT planning to use lacto-fruit rub. Place lid back on, and repeat process until all sides of corn are evenly cooked.
- Apply lacto-fermented fruit rub prior to serving and use charred corn husks as plate decoration.
