Sesame Corn and Basil Saute

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 6 ears fresh corn, shucked and kernels cut off the cobs (about 4 cups)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil chiffonade

Directions

  1. Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a large skillet over medium heat, taking care not to burn them, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve.

  2. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter and garlic. Saute the garlic as the butter melts, about 2 minutes. Add the corn, salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the corn is just tender and warmed through, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the sesame seeds and half the basil and mix until combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining basil.
