Parmesan Cilantro Corn

Recipe Type
Description

Corn can be seasoned with more than just butter and salt. 

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cups frozen corn
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Directions

Directions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. When butter is melted, add the garlic and corn, stirring to coat with butter. Cook, stirring frequently, for two minutes. Add lime juice, cumin and cayenne pepper and cook for two more minutes.

Stir in cheese, Greek yogurt and milk. Add additional milk or yogurt as needed to make a creamy texture. Continue to stir so corn doesn’t stick to the pan. Add salt and pepper. Cook corn until most of the cream has been absorbed, about five minutes more. Remove from heat, stir in cilantro and serve hot.
