Recipe of the Week: Easy Skillet Street Corn

Posted

Let’s face it, in this busy world, we run all the time. Here is a simple side dish with ingredients that can almost all be found at the Gilpin County Food Pantry.

Ingredients:

1 bag frozen corn

1 and ½ tablespoon butter softened

1 and ½ tablespoon mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper juice and zest of 1 lime

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

3 green onions sliced (optional)

1/2 cup crumbled feta (or cotija cheese)

2 tablespoon cilantro chopped fresh

Instructions:

Heat corn in a medium skillet. Mix butter and mayonnaise until smooth. Add paprika, salt, pepper, zest and juice of 1 lime, minced garlic to the butter/mayo mixture and mix until well combined. Place corn in a serving dish and drop spoonfuls of butter mixture on top of corn. Sprinkle cheese, cilantro, and green onions over butter. Serve hot.
