Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • After removing the corn from the microwave run cold water over it to cool the corn enough to shuck it.
  • 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.
  • Rinse the leek and cut off dark green part, keeping white and light green part. Slice in thin slices (about 1/4 inch).
  • Melt butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add minced garlic and leeks.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium.
  • Once the leeks are tender (about 5-7 minutes) add corn.
  • Salt and Pepper to taste.
  • Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat corn.
