Ingredients
  • 1 cup water
  • 4¼ cups corn kernels (from 6 medium ears of corn)
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle chile in adobo sauce, very finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
Directions
  1. To a small saucepan set over medium heat, bring the water, corn kernels and star anise to a simmer. Cook until kernels are tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the star anise and drain the corn kernels in a colander. Return the corn to the saucepan.
  2. Add the butter, chipotle, lemon zest and salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted, about 1 to 2 minutes. Divide among 4 plates, sprinkle with the chives and serve.
