Sautéed Corn with Scallions

This sautéed corn is the simplest possible side dish recipe and one of my favorites. Just three ingredients – corn, onions and scallions, sautéed in sweet butter with a little salt and pepper, and the result is pure magic. When you’ve had your fill of corn on the cob, give this wonderful, easy corn-off-the-cob recipe a try.
