Sweet Summer Onion Corn Saute'

What you will need:

  • 3-4 ears of sweet summer white corn

  • 1 medium sized yellow onion

  • 1 small bunch fresh cilantro

  • sour cream

Strip husks from your ears of corn then cut the corn off of the cob. (An easy way is to first break the ears in half. Place the middle side of the corn on a cutting board and holding the end, cut down the sides to remove the kernals.)

Peel and chop the yellow onion.

Rinse and dry the cilantro. Remove most of the bottom stems. Chop coursely and set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons of chili cilantro olive oil for a few minutes in a heavy sauce pan on medium-low heat, then add the chopped onion and a few shakes or pinches of salt. “Sweat” or slow sauté the onions adding chili cilantro olive oil as needed until onions move past transulcent and start to look slightly gooey and browned.

Add the corn kernals and about 1/4 to 1/3 cup hot water to deglaze the brown bits on the pan. Cover and allow to simmer on low heat for about 8-10 minutes for corn to cook.

Remove cover from pan and allow liquid to cook off.

When pan is nearly dry, add fresh chopped cilantro and a few more drizzles of chili cilantor olive oil and cook until cilantro is slightly wilted.

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream. (Optional, add a sprinkle of paprika for extra color.)
