Categories     Corn

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 teaspoon cumin seeds
Coarse salt
Olive oil
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
1/2 jalapeño pepper, chopped
4 ears fresh corn, kernels cut off the cobs (see above)
Fresh-ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Toast the cumin seeds in a hot dry pan for a minute or so to bring out the fragrant oils, let cool a bit, then pulverize in a mortar along with a pinch of coarse salt.
  • Cover the bottom of a sauté pan with a coating of olive oil, put over medium heat, and add the garlic. (A tip to avoid burning garlic: Instead of adding chopped garlic to oil that may be too hot and will scorch it immediately, heat the garlic with the oil from the start, and you will see and hear it cooking gently and can prevent it from overheating.) When the garlic begins to sizzle, add the cumin and jalapeño and cook gently for another minute or so. Add the corn. Stir it while it cooks and, if needed, add a splash of water. The corn cooks quickly and will be done in 2 to 3 minutes. Finish with a few grinds of pepper and serve.
