Mama used to make this as soon as the fresh corn came in. It is similar to creamed corn in sweetness but the kernels are left whole. A great summertime dish. When my boys whine enough in the winter I will make this with frozen corn.

FESTIVE SKILLET CORN



Festive Skillet Corn image

Simple corn recipe goes great with oven baked or fried chicken and is a great way to use garden herbs. Adapted from Simply Simpatico Cookbook.

Provided by ellie_

Categories     Corn

Time 25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) package frozen corn (we like white and yellow mixed)
5 tablespoons butter or 5 tablespoons margarine
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 red sweet bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped (or substitute fresh basil)
2 teaspoons fresh chives, chopped
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in skillet over med heat.
  • Add corn and cook until kernels separate (2 minutes).
  • Add remainder of ingredients, including the 3 tablespoons butter, and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Fresh is best: For the best flavor, use fresh corn kernels. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but the flavor will be slightly less sweet.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the corn, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will prevent the corn from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the corn from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can season it by cooking a few tablespoons of oil in it over medium heat for a few minutes.
  • Cook the corn until it is tender: Cook the corn until it is tender, but not mushy. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: Season the corn with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: Serve the corn immediately after cooking. This will ensure that it is at its best flavor.

Conclusion:

Festive skillet corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh corn kernels, butter, and your favorite seasonings. The corn is cooked in a skillet until it is tender and slightly charred. Festive skillet corn can be served on its own or as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or chicken. It is also a great addition to salads, tacos, and burritos.
