Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the ingredients by cutting the corn kernels off the cob if using fresh ears, or measuring 4 cups of frozen corn and letting it thaw completely.
2. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh chives, setting them aside for the cooking process.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. For extra caramelization, you can add 1 teaspoon of olive oil along with the butter to prevent it from burning.
4. Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
5. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the garlic butter. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to develop a slight golden-brown color.
6. Season the corn with salt and black pepper, adjusting the amounts to taste. Stir to combine.
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the corn. Stir again to distribute the chives evenly.
8. Transfer the Chive N Garlic Corn to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
