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:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Peel and finely chop the onion until you have about 1 cup.
- 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.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and translucent.
- Add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Stir well to combine.
- 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.
- 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.
