Categories side-dish

Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

8 to 10 ears of corn on the cob (yellow or white corn)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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.

Tips:

Choose the Right Corn: Select fresh, sweet corn on the cob with plump, tightly packed kernels. Avoid corn that has dried or damaged kernels.
Prepare the Corn: Shuck the corn and remove the silk. Cut the kernels off the cob using a sharp knife or a corn stripper.
Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor to the dish. Use a variety of herbs such as basil, chives, cilantro, dill, oregano, parsley, rosemary, sage, and thyme.
Don't Overcook the Corn: Sauté the corn over medium-high heat until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked corn will become mushy.
Add Vegetables: Add other vegetables to the sauté for a more colorful and nutritious dish. Good options include bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, and onions.
Season to Taste: Season the sauté with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
