I spent a few summers working in the corn fields de-tasseling corn in Illinois while in High School (many moons ago!) and learned a lot about how to pick and prepare this great inexpensive veggie. I came up with this easy recipe when my own kids got braces and couldn't eat corn on the cob. You will love this simple, and elegant side dish! Ingredients:
8 ears of shucked sweet corn, cut off of the cob |
1 bunch green onion, chopped |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Shuck sweet corn and cut kernels off of the cob using a sharp knife and a big bowl (this can get messy); set aside.
2. Chop 1 bunch of green onions using a good portion of the green part.
3. Heat large sauté pan and add butter and olive oil (be sure not to burn) add corn and green onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes, top! Do not over cook!
4. Season with salt and pepper and ENJOY immediately!
5. Variations: Add chopped red pepper, garlic, green pepper, etc.
