Sauteed Corn on the Cob With Chili-Lime-Cilantro Spread
USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
"For simplicity, keep it on the cob. To make it special, cook it twice: first in the microwave, then in a skillet till the ears turn golden-brown. Instead of butter, pass this chili-lime-cilantro sour cream. Unlike butter, sour cream adheres to the kernels, and its rich tartness is a pleasant contrast to the sweet corn."

Directions
{{model.addEditText}} Print- Place corn on a microwave-safe plate; cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave on high power until corn is fully cooked, 8 to 10 minutes. (Leaving plastic wrap in place, corn can be made up to 2 hours ahead.)
- Mix sour cream, cilantro, chili powder, lime juice, salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve. (Makes 1/2 cup.)
- About 10 minutes before serving time, heat butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add corn and cook, turning with kitchen tongs every few minutes, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Serve immediately, with sour cream spread passed separately.

This is near the exact recipe my step-sister brought back from deep in Texas. The only difference is the corn the on cob was soaked (in the husks) in a large bucket of salt water overnight, then...

I thought this would be absolutely awesome, but I was disappointed. The cilantro is way too overwhelming for corn. Maybe it would OK with another vegetable, but it takes away from the fantasti...

I like the idea of this, and I loved the spread as something different (also excellent on baked potatoes) for corn on the cob. I was not so crazy about the twice-cooked method and my corn got a ...

This was pretty good. I liked the tangy flavor of the sourcream, but I'm not real sure about the cilantro.
