Ingredients

4 oz. (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened to room termperature.

2 jarred roasted red peppers, drained well, patted dry, and finely chopped (1/2 to 2/3 cup)

1 large shallot, minced (1/4 cup)

1 1/2 Tbs. sherry vinegar

1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme

2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, more as needed

8 ears corn, shucked

2 Tbs. olive oil

Directions

Put the butter, red peppers, shallot, vinegar, 2 tsp. of the thyme, 1 tsp. of the salt, and the black pepper in a food processor and pulse until blended (its fine if its still slightly chunky and looks a little separated).

Transfer to a large piece of plastic wrap and roll tightly, twisting the ends so the bundle acquired a sausage shape.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

When ready to grill the corn, slice the butter into 1/3-inch-thick rounds.

Heat a gas grill to medium or prepare a low characoal fire. If desired, cut each ear of corn in half.

Toss the corn with the oil, the remaining 1 tsp. salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.

Put the ears on the grill and if using gas, reduce the heat to medium low.

Cover and grill the corn, turning every couple of minutes, until browned all over and tender, about 15 minutes.

Transfer to a large platter, top with about half of the butter and the remaining 1 tsp. thyme.

Serve, passing the remaining butter on the side.
