Corn Saut With Ginger Garlic Fresh Cilantro Recipes

SAUTEED FRESH CORN

Steps:

• Remove the husks and the silk from the corn and cut the kernels off as close to the husk as possible without removing any of the husk. You should have about 7 cups of kernels.
• Melt the butter in a large, heavy saute pan. Add the corn, salt, and pepper and saute uncovered on medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the starchiness in the corn is gone. Taste, for salt and pepper, and serve.

GRILLED CORN WITH CILANTRO AND SESAME

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high. Clean and lightly oil hot grill. Grill corn, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and charred in spots, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sesame oil, ginger, jalapeno, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer corn to a platter and spread sesame oil mixture over cobs. Sprinkle each with sesame seeds and serve.

CORN SAUTÉ WITH GINGER, GARLIC & FRESH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Melt 1 Tbs. of the butter with the olive oil in a 10-inch straight-sided sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the scallions and 1/2 tsp. of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions are soft and lightly browned, about 3 min. Add the remaining 1 Tbs. butter and the corn, ginger, garlic, serrano, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until the corn is tender but still slightly toothy to the bite, 3 to 4 min. (It will begin to intensify in color, glisten, and be somewhat shrunken in size, and the bottom of the pan may be slightly brown.) Remove the pan from the heat, add all but about 1/2 Tbs. of the cilantro, a good squeeze of the lime, and a few generous grinds of pepper. Stir, let sit 2 min., and stir again, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan (moisture released from the vegetables as they sit will loosen the bits). Season to taste with more salt, pepper, or lime. Serve warm, sprinkled with the remaining cilantro.
