Fried Corn

My aunt Dawna made this while I was visiting her in Dallas recently. It's something my grandmother makes as well. It's very easy and you just need a couple of ingredients. I was amazed at how cooking the corn this way brought out it's sweetness. It's a perfect way to use fresh, summer corn from your garden or farmer's market. 


Ingredients:

• 4 ears of corn
• 1 small, sweet onion or a few shallots, chopped fine
• olive oil and about a tbsp butter
• salt and pepper 

(serves about 2-3)

Begin by removing the kernels from the cob. I just put the cob on its end and run my knife down the sides. 

Heat some oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the onion and corn and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or so. 

And that's it! Much less messy than eating it off the cob, but that's always good too.
