ChefXi OfficialSweet summer corn sautéed in butter and finished with a burst of fresh aromatic basil.
Cut the kernels off the corn cobs and set aside. Tear the basil leaves.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn kernels and a pinch of salt.
Sauté the corn, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and just starting to turn a bright golden yellow.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh basil and lime juice. Serve immediately.
The residual heat is enough to wilt the basil without turning it black.
Fresh corn cut off the cob makes a world of difference here. The basil should be added at the very end to keep its vibrant green color and fresh aroma. Inspired by summer garden harvests.
