Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 small orange bell pepper, 1/2-inch diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups corn (Fresh kernels cut from 5 ears yellow or white corn)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives (or all 3) or 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves (or all 3)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Stir in the bell pepper and saute for 2 more minutes.
  • Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Over medium heat, add the corn, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the corn just loses its starchiness. Season to taste, gently stir in the basil or other green herbs, and serve hot.
