Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large sauté pan for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Stir in the bell pepper and sauté for 2 more minutes.

Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt. Over medium heat, add the corn, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes, until the corn just looses its starchiness.

Season to taste, gently stir in the basil or other green herbs and serve hot.
