Pan-fried sweet corn with butter, salt, and pepper is a simple yet delicious side dish that brings out the natural sweetness of the corn. This quick and easy recipe requires just a few ingredients and minimal preparation, making it perfect for a weekday meal or a summer barbecue.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by removing the husk and silk from the cob of sweet corn.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the kernels off the cob. To do this safely, place the cob on its end inside a large bowl, and slice downward to catch the kernels.
- Place a medium-sized pan or skillet on medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan.
- Allow the butter to melt completely and start to sizzle slightly, ensuring it does not burn.
- Once the butter is melted and bubbly, add the corn kernels to the pan.
- Spread the kernels out into an even layer using a spatula or wooden spoon.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the corn. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
- Stir the corn kernels so they get evenly coated with the butter, salt, and pepper.
- Continue to cook the corn, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and develop a light golden brown color. This will also enhance their natural sweetness.
- Once done, remove the pan from heat.
- Transfer the pan-fried sweet corn to a serving dish.
- Serve hot and enjoy as a delicious side dish or a snack.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, juicy corn for the best results. You can also use frozen corn kernels if fresh corn is out of season.
- Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the corn to achieve a nice sear and caramelization.
- Feel free to add other seasonings or herbs such as garlic powder, paprika, or fresh chopped parsley to enhance the flavor.
- For a more complex flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, pan-fried sweet corn with butter, salt, and pepper is a versatile and tasty addition to any meal. This quick dish highlights the natural sweetness of corn and is sure to become a favorite in your cooking repertoire.
