Ingredients

4 ounces shiitake mushrooms (2 cups), stems trimmed, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon white miso
8 corn, husked
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened
⅛ teaspoon salt
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Directions

Preheat grill to high.
Combine mushrooms and miso in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the mushrooms soften into the miso, 6 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, oil the grill rack. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Combine butter and the mushroom mixture in a food processor. Process until smooth. (Alternatively, mash with a fork in a small bowl.) Season with salt.
Spread some of the mushroom-miso butter onto each ear of corn. Sprinkle with Parmesan and crushed red pepper.

To make ahead

Refrigerate mushroom butter (Steps 2 & 4) for up to 3 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
