This week’s recipe is in honor of today’s Field of Dreams game amongst the corn fields in Iowa. We love an easy-to-throw-together side dish and this one is great because you can use steam fresh, frozen, canned or fresh corn.
Ingredients
10- ounce bag steam fresh whole kernel corn*
1 and ½ tablespoon real butter softened (see below for reduced fat version)
1 and ½ tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
juice and zest of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
3 green onions sliced
1/2 cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped fresh
Instructions
Heat corn in the microwave according to package instructions.
Meanwhile, mix butter and mayonnaise until smooth.
Add paprika, salt, pepper, zest and juice of 1 lime, and garlic powder to the butter/mayo mixture and mix until well combined.
Place corn in a serving dish and drop spoonfuls of the butter mixture on top of the corn.
Sprinkle cheese, cilantro, and green onions over butter.
Serve hot.
