Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or Halal-friendly butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and cut the kernels off. For frozen, allow them to thaw; for canned, simply drain and rinse.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil or Halal-friendly butter. Allow it to melt and get hot.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Add the corn to the skillet. Stir well to combine, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until it’s heated through and slightly caramelized.
  4. Lower the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the corn. Stir until it melts into the mixture, coating the corn.
  5. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

Fresh corn is preferred, but frozen or canned corn can also be used. Adjust garlic to taste and avoid overcooking to keep the corn crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
