Sure! Here’s a simple recipe for old-fashioned skillet corn:
Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional)
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Once the butter is melted, add the diced onion and red bell pepper (if using) to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent and the pepper is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to combine with the onions and peppers. Let the corn cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is heated through and starts to caramelize slightly.
- Season the corn with salt and pepper to taste.
- If using heavy cream, pour it over the corn and stir to combine. Let the corn cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cream is heated through and slightly thickened.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the corn to a serving dish.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve hot.
Enjoy your old-fashioned skillet corn as a delicious side dish!
