Corn on the cob with lime and butter is a simple yet delightful dish rooted in Yugoslav culinary traditions. Corn, a symbol of summer and warmth, gains a unique flavor from the combination of creamy butter and refreshing lime acidity. This pairing makes it perfect for light summer lunches and friendly outdoor gatherings. The tender texture of boiled corn is enhanced by the butter, while lime adds zest and lightness. It can be served as a side to meat or fish or enjoyed on its own to savor its natural taste. Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper add subtle spice to the corn, making each bite even richer and more harmonious.
