Ingredients :

​

Corn on the cob 5-6 ears
Butter or olive oil 2-3 T
Onion minced 1 each
Cream, half-and-half or sour cream 1/3 cup
Salt & pepper to taste

​

Method :

​

1. Cut the corn kernels from each cob using a sharp knife. Then run the knife blade down each cob to squeeze out the milk.
2. Heat the butter or oil over medium-heat in a large saucepan. Add the onions and sauté till translucent. Add the corn and heat through, stirring frequently, 3-5 minutes.
3. Stir in the cream, half-and half or sour cream. Reduce heat to low and season with salt and pepper. Simmer 3-4 minutes more and serve.

​

Variations :

​

* Sauté one minced red or green bell pepper with the onion. Two or three cloves of minced garlic are another possibility. For a little heat, add in a minced jalapeno.
* Fresh or dried basil, thyme or oregano may be added along with the corn for added flavor. Add 2 tsp chili powder to the sauteing onions for a southwestern touch.
