Receta Fresh Corn Sauté with Bacon and Chi
One of my favorite parts of summer is all of the fresh vegetables and fruit. While I love the other seasons bounty, I have summer’s down to an almost weekly schedule. Whether it be strawberry, blueberry, cucumber, and corn picking time. I’m ready and excited.
We’ve just started our corn season here and have indulged in a few ears of corn on the cob with butter simply melted over it. The first ears have to be enjoyed in the purest of manner. Now that we have that out of the way, it’s time to have fun. While I am a purest and nothing beats a good corn on the cob with butter, I believe sauteing it in bacon comes pretty close to perfection. If fresh corn is delicious, then bacon can only make it amazing!
What I love about this recipe is it is so easy can be made quickly. After the first time you’ll realize you don’t need the recipe. Just cook up some bacon, and some salt and pepper and go! This is definitely a great side dish recipe to have in your arsenal for a weeknight when it’s just too hot to cook but you want something delicious on your plate in mere minutes!
