Colander
Medium-Sized Skillet
Ingredients
1
can
(15oz) whole kernel corn, drained
($0.64)
2
Tablespoons
butter
($0.25)
¼
cup
water
($0.00)
½
teaspoon
garlic powder
($0.04)
1
teaspoon
dried parsley or 2 teaspoons fresh parsley
($0.08)
½
teaspoon
salt
($0.01)
¼
teaspoon
ground black pepper
($0.02)
¼
teaspoon
paprika, regular or smoked
($0.02)
1
pinch
crushed red pepper flakes *optional
($0.02)
Instructions
Drain the liquid from the can of corn. I recommend rinsing the corn off in a colander under cool water, but that step is optional. Set aside for now.
Add your butter to a medium sized skillet over medium heat.
Add in the water and dry seasonings (not fresh parsley, that is added at the end).
Stir in the drained corn.
Simmer and cook until the liquid has almost completely evaporated from the pan. This will take up to 5 minutes or so.
Taste and adjust the seasonings as desired. If using fresh parsley, add it in now.
Notes
Corn Juice:
Optionally, use reserved corn juice from the can, but water is preferred for a healthier option.
Draining and Rinsing:
Rinse corn in water to remove excess sodium from the liquid.
Reheating
: Reheat corn in a skillet on the stove over medium heat or microwave on a plate for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Storage
: Leftover cooked corn lasts up to 4 days in the fridge in an airtight container. Reheat before serving.
