Best-Ever Buttered Corn

I get it. Dairy anything seems excessively indulgent, especially dairy on vegetables. Why not just use cooking spray and save the calories, I mouth along with you. But trust me on this one, this is a hundred percent worth it. Start now and make this corn all summer until sweet August corn hits its peak deliciousness.

DAIRY
SERVES 6

• 6 ears corn
• 3 Tbsp Mehadrin Butter
• approximately 2 tsp salt, to taste
• ¹⁄₂ small red onion, diced finely
• ¹⁄₄ cup (or more) chopped fresh chives

1. Cut the corn off the ears with a sharp, straight-edged knife.
2. Heat the butter in a large frying pan until foamy. Add the corn and season with salt. Allow to sauté without disturbing for 3 minutes, then stir occasionally until the corn is al dente and some kernels are beginning to brown. Turn off the heat and stir in the onion and chives.
