Sauteed Corn with Basil & Shallots

This sautéed corn recipe is a fresh and easy way to highlight summer’s most iconic vegetable. We add just a touch of butter, shallot and fresh basil to let the flavor of sweet corn straight from the cob do the talking. To remove the kernels mess-free, stand the corn up in a medium bowl and use a paring knife to cut the kernels from the cob starting from the top down. Voilà! You’ll have a bowl of neatly captured kernels ready for cooking.
