Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh corn kernels (from about 4 ears of corn)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
Prepare the corn by cutting the kernels off the cobs if using fresh ears. Set the kernels aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the olive oil if using for extra flavor.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter and garlic mixture.
Cook the corn for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden in spots.
Sprinkle the salt and ground black pepper over the corn and stir well to combine.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped chives just before serving.
Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a flavorful side dish.
