Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by shucking the corn and removing all the silk. Rinse the ears of corn under cold water.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the kernels from the cob. Hold the cob vertically over a cutting board or a large bowl to catch the kernels. Rotate and cut until all the kernels are removed.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the skillet, letting the butter melt completely.
Step 4
Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbly, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.
Step 5
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture.
Step 6
Season the corn with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Step 7
Cook the corn for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 9
Serve the sautéed fresh corn warm as a side dish. Enjoy!
