Summer Corn with Fresh Basil

 

Ingredients:

4 ears of fresh summer corn, cut off the cob into a bowl

About 5-7 leaves of fresh basil, sliced in this ribbons right before using (about 2 TBSP)

1 TBSP chopped parsley

1 tsp of minced garlic from the tube (or 2 cloves of garlic minced very well)

2 TBSP butter

2 tsp toasted sesame seeds

1-2 tsp of 5 pepper/5 salt mix

Directions: 

1. In a medium cast iron skillet, that is heated over medium heat, add sesame seeds and toast for 1-2 minutes. Toss the around a few times. As soon as they get really fragrant and nutty, turn off the heat and take them out of the skillet in a small bowl. 

2. To the skillet, add the garlic and the butter. Today once I got to this part I took my skillet outside on the grill because I already had the grill going for some chicken. Heat the skillet over medium heat with the butter and garlic.  

3. Add the corn and the pepper/salt blend. Cook, stirring often for about 5 minutes. At the end, turn off the heat and add in the basil, parsley and sesame seeds and toss.  Serve right away. 

Enjoy.
