1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently for about 4 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Then add the bell pepper to the pan and sauté for 2-3 more minutes.
- Add the butter to the pan with the onions and peppers, and allow the butter to melt.
- Add the corn, salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently for about 4 more minutes. (Be careful not to overcook the corn – you still want it tender but not mushy.)
- Remove the corn from the heat and stir in the basil.
- Serve immediately.
