Skillet-Fried Corn and Tomatoes
Skillet-Fried Corn and Tomatoes All joking aside, I think you'll love this side-dish. It's simple to prepare but makes you feel like a chef (instead of a cook).
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced Calabrian chilies
  • 4 cups corn kernels, from about 5 ears corn
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh tomato puree
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh chives
  • Sea salt, preferably gray salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Instructions
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil, then the garlic.
  • Sauté until the garlic is lightly browned. Add the chilies and sauté briefly to release their character.
  • Add the corn and cook briskly, stirring often, until partially cooked, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the tomato puree and simmer, stirring, until the corn is just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, whisk in the butter, and stir in the chives.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
Comments This dish can is a great side dish and can be started on the stove, then finished or reheated on the grill while something else is cooking.
