Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Begin by shucking the corn and removing all the silk. Rinse the ears of corn under cold water.
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the kernels from the cob. Hold the cob vertically over a cutting board or a large bowl to catch the kernels. Rotate and cut until all the kernels are removed.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet, letting the butter melt completely.
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Season the corn with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook the corn for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the sautéed fresh corn warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
