Sauteed Fresh Corn

[Guest guest]

Sauteed Fresh Corn

 

8 to 10 ears corn on the cob, yellow or white corn

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

 

1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper 

 

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. Some chopped basil makes a nice addition.

Yields 6 to 8 servings.
