This is a fantastic recipe. I used frozen corn because that is what I had on hand and it was great. Use fresh when you can but there is no reason you can't keep this little gem on your menu year round. I have tons of fresh basil that I'm having trouble using up and this was perfect. Read more . I had my camera ready but I totally forgot to snap a picture of this. Sorry! *Everyone knows what corn on the cob w/ butter tastes like, and it's hard to beat. But browning the butter and then sautéing corn kernels in it ratchets up the flavor, while adding shreds of basil at the last minute keeps the dish fresh and tasting of summer. Ingredients:
2 t unsalted butter |
3 cups corn kernels (from about 4 ears) |
1/4 t salt |
1/8 t freshly ground black pepper |
1 cup finely shredded fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a 12 heavy skillet over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and most of butter is golden brown. Add corn, season w/ salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, until tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in basil.
