SAUTEED FRESH CORN
Steps:
- Remove the husks and the silk from the corn and cut the kernels off as close to the husk as possible without removing any of the husk. You should have about 7 cups of kernels.
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy saute pan. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and saute uncovered on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the starchiness in the corn is gone. Taste, for salt and pepper, and serve.

- Prepare the corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. If desired, cut the corn kernels off the cob.
- Use a hot pan: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Add a little oil or butter to prevent the corn from sticking.
- Cook the corn quickly: Cook the corn for just a few minutes, stirring frequently. This will prevent the corn from becoming tough.
- Season to taste: Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add chopped herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon.
- Serve immediately: Pan-fried sweet corn is best served hot and fresh. Enjoy it as a side dish, appetizer, or snack.
