Corn And Leek Saute

6 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn (white or yellow)
  • 1 leek
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

  1. 1
    Microwave corn 10 minutes, 2 ears at a time. Leave the corn in the husk and drape a damp paper towel over the top. I cut off the base of the corn husk if it's too long to fit in the microwave.
  2. 2
    After removing the corn from the microwave run cold water over it to cool the corn enough to shuck it.
  3. 3
    After husk has been removed stand it on end over a cutting board or bowl and using a downward sawing motion cut off the kernals. Then go back over the cob and remove all the tiny bits still remaining.
  4. 4
    Rinse the leek and cut off dark green part, keeping white and light green part. Slice in thin slices (about 1/4 inch).
  5. 5
    Melt butter over medium-high heat.
  6. 6
    Add minced garlic and leeks.
  7. 7
    Cover and reduce heat to medium.
  8. 8
    Once the leeks are tender (about 5-7 minutes) add corn.
  9. 9
    Salt and Pepper to taste.
  10. 10
    Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat corn.
