Sweet Corn

Caramelized Corn with Sage and Onion

It's hard to make fresh sweet corn taste any better, but a slash of light cream does it by adding a nutty flavour. The peppers, onions and sage turn it into a perfect side dish to serve with meat or poultry.

Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes
Servings: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
  • 1 Ontario Onion, chopped
  • 4 cups (1 L) Ontario Sweet Corn Kernels (4 to 5 ears)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped Ontario Sweet Red Pepper
  • 1 Ontario Green Onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) chopped fresh sage or 1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried) sage
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) light cream
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
Preparation:

In large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened.
