Sauteed Fresh Sweet Corn and Green Onions

"I spent a few summers working in the corn fields de-tasseling corn in Illinois while in High School (many moons ago!) and learned a lot about how to pick and prepare this great inexpensive veggie. I came up with this easy recipe when my own kids got braces and couldn't eat corn on the cob. You will love this simple, and elegant side dish!"

  1. I really enjoyed this and will be putting it in the regular meal rotation. Very fresh tasting and simple to prepare.
     
  2. Great slapped on burgers as a topping!
     
  3. Delicious and such an easy side dish! Made this for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup ~ 2014 and it was a hit with DH. I did cut the recipe in half and added a little diced poblano pepper for a mild zing and to use it up. Definately a keeper for this summer when corn is really on. Thank you for posting.
     
  4. I served this as a side dish for Chicken Scaloppine with Lemoncello Sauce (Recipe 250814) & it was a match made in heaven! Delicious!
     
  5. We loved this. I made it several times this summer when fresh corn was available, and I know we'll look forward to having it again next summer.
