Corn on the cob is a comforting and cherished Midwest dish. It's amazing when grilled, and my recipe adds a few unexpected ingredients to make it taste even more like summertime. —Caitlin Dawson, Monroe, OH *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
• 4 medium ears sweet corn
• 4 teaspoons butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 16 fresh basil leaves
• 1/2 medium lemon
• 2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro
• Additional butter, optional

Directions:
1. Place corn in a 6-qt. stockpot; cover with cold water. Soak 20 minutes; drain. Carefully peel back corn husks to within 1 in. of bottoms; remove silk. Brush butter over corn; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Press four basil leaves onto each cob. Rewrap corn in husks; secure with kitchen string.

2. Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 20-25 minutes or until tender, turning often. Cut string and peel back husks; discard basil leaves. Squeeze lemon juice over corn; sprinkle with cilantro. If desired, spread with additional butter.
