Drescription

This sautéed corn recipe is a fresh and easy way to highlight summer’s most iconic vegetable. We add just a touch of butter, shallot and fresh basil to let the flavor of sweet corn straight from the cob do the talking. To remove the kernels mess-free, stand the corn up in a medium bowl and use a paring knife to cut the kernels from the cob starting from the top down. Voilà! You’ll have a bowl of neatly captured kernels ready for cooking.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 4 cups fresh corn kernels (from 6 ears)
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil plus 2 tablespoons, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Cook butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and nutty-smelling, 3 to 4 minutes. Add corn; stir to coat. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add shallots; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant; 2 minutes more. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup basil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; top with the remaining 2 tablespoons basil.
