Husk 3 ears of corn and cut off the kernels.  In a skillet, saute one small white onion, finely chopped, in two tablespoons of butter, until it is transparent.

Add one small green pepper, cut into small pieces, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally until the pepper is tender. Add the corn to the pan and cook it for about 5 minutes or until it is tender.

Mix in 1/4 cup thinly slice pimiento, season the mixture with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste, and add a large lump of butter, softened.

Three Ways to Roast Corn Outdoors
Betty Crocker, 1958 

Corn Roasted on the Coals

Pull back husks and remove silk, replace husks. Soak in ice water 20-30 minutes. Shake off water, lay on hot coals to cook until tender 10-15 minutes for young corn, turning 2-3 times.

Corn Roasted on Grill Over Coals

Remove large outer husks from young, tender corn. Turn back inner husks, remove silk. Spread corn with softened butter, pull husks back over ears, tying with fine wire. Roast on grill over hot coals, turning frequently until done, about 20 minutes. Serve at once with salt, pepper, more butter.

Corn Roasted in Foil on Coals

Same as above, except re-wrap corn in husks, then in aluminum foil. Lay on ash gray coals 10-15 minutes, turning once.
