By jarren

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons good olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped red onion
• 1 small orange bell pepper, 1/2-inch diced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups kernels cut from 5 ears of yellow or white corn
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of julienned fresh basil, minced fresh chives, and/or minced fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large saute pan. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft. Stir in the bell pepper and saute 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 loses its starchiness. Season to taste gently stir in the basil or other green herbs and serve hot.
