Sweet Corn

Out this way, corn stands are popping up everywhere at an alarming rate. Selling sweet, delicious cobs of the most beautiful corn ever. I really do think that the best way to serve corn is steamed and right off the cob, slathered with butter, salt and pepper. It's pure, sweet and utterly delicious. However I know after a few times eating it, I get tired of picking stray corn pieces outta my teeth afterwards. So I found a quick 'salad' recipe to make that doesn't take away from the wonderful corn flavour.




Warm Corn Salad



6 ears corn, kernels cut off - 1 small diced Vidalia onion - 1/2 red pepper, diced - 1 smallish diced zucchini - small knob of butter - salt and pepper

In a saute pan, melt butter. Add in onion and sweat until it starts to wilt. Add in red pepper and zucchini and saute for a few minutes. Add in corn and continue to cook for a few minutes until all warmed through. You still want kernels to have a bit of bite. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.
