Hot Corn With Chimichurri Butter - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    3/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano leaves
    2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
    1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
    1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
    salt
    6 ears corn, husked
    grated Cotija cheese, for serving (optional)
    lime wedge, for serving (optional)
Preparation
    Place the vinegar, lemon juice, parsley, oregano, garlic and red pepper flakes in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
    Transfer the mixture to a piece of cheesecloth or a kitchen towel and wring out the excess liquid. Place the mixture in a small bowl and stir in the butter.
    Transfer the chimichurri butter to a sheet of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until it has hardened.
    Meanwhile, bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and boil until it is tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving platter.
    Place a disk of chimichurri butter on each ear of corn and serve sprinkled with Cotija cheese and a lime wedge on the side.
