Fried corn and onion medley

Welcome to a simple yet delicious recipe for a fried corn and onion medley. This dish combines the sweetness of corn with the savory flavor of caramelized onions, making it a perfect side dish for any meal. It's quick to prepare and requires only a few ingredients that you likely already have in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

4 sweet corn yields sweet corn
570g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 cup onion
160g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Corn:
- Husk the corn and remove all the silk.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off each cob. Hold the cob upright in a large bowl and slice downwards to catch all the kernels.
2. Chop the Onion:
- Peel and finely chop the onion until you have about 1 cup.
3. Heat the Butter:
- In a large skillet or frying pan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt completely and start to sizzle.
4. Cook the Onion:
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent.
5. Add the Corn:
- Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Stir well to combine.
6. Season and Fry:
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the skillet. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Continue to cook the corn and onion mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes. The corn should be tender and start to brown slightly.
7. Serve:
- Remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve your fried corn and onion medley hot as a delicious side dish.

Tips:

- Use fresh sweet corn for the best flavor, but frozen corn can also be used if fresh isn't available.

- Make sure to chop the onions evenly so that they cook uniformly.

- For an added kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes during the cooking process.

- If you prefer a slightly smoky flavor, you can use smoked paprika instead of black pepper.

- Cook the onions slowly over medium heat to allow them to caramelize and develop their natural sweetness.

Once your corn and onion medley is cooked to perfection, you'll have a wonderful side dish that's both flavorful and versatile. Serve it alongside your favorite main course, or enjoy it on its own. This easy recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
